PREFACE 


The purpose of this book is to inform the members of the Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon Fraternity concerning the Fraternity and the men com¬ 
posing it. This is our fifth Catalogue; the former ones having been 
issued in ’59, 70, 77 and ’87; but this is our first attempt at a General 
History and Catalogue. 

In accordance with a custom of the Fraternity, the convention of ’90 de¬ 
cided to give to some chapter the charge of compiling a Catalogue. This 
work was given to Pennsylvania Sigma Phi in the spring of ’90. Chester 
N. Ames was put in charge of the work, but as he did not return the 
following fall, the present editor was forced into the position of editor, 
with George P. Singer and James T. Van Burkalow as assistants. These 
brothers began the work in October, ’91, by issuing question blanks and 
circular letters to the Grand Chapters and Local Chapters, and through 
these to each active and alumnus brother, for the purpose of gathering 
the necessary data from which to compile the book. The scope of the 
present work was determined by the editors and approved by the conven¬ 
tion of ’91. As a result of the report of the editors at the convention of 
’92, the Fraternity ordered the book to be published during the spring 
and summer of ’93. To prepare for this, in February, ’93, the board of 
editors was increased from three to seven, C. N. Ames, W. S. Snyder, 
G. W. Mitchell and C. D. Taylor being added. The data was then called 
in from all the chapters. 

In June, ’93, a board of publishers was formed consisting of the editor, 
with James T. Yan Burkalow, Jr., C. D. Taylor and G. W. Mitchell as 
assistants. The summer was spent in preparing the copy and reading 
the proof of the body of the book. To help us in preparing copy and 
correcting the vast amount of data sent us, we had in our possession 
the archives of the Fraternity, a full list of the Record and our other pub¬ 
lications, records of inactive chapters, minutes of conventions, the 
original minutes of the Mother Chapter, and many valuable sources of 
reference. In the light of these we have been compelled to differ from 
many, both in our own Fraternity and in others, who are frequently 
taken as authority; but we have made no changes without sufficient data 
at hand to establish our position. 

We wished to have few decorations in the book. The designs on the 
cover are all indicative. They are the work of our brother, Flake Irwin, 
Michigan Iota Beta, Bellevue, Pa. The frontispiece suggested itself on

PREFACE. 


the receipt of the picture as a compliment from our big-hearted brother, 
George H. Bunting, Tennessee Zeta. For the general history we are in¬ 
debted to our much beloved brother, J.T. Van Burkalow, Jr., Pennsylva¬ 
nia Sigma Phi. 

We have attempted to arrange the book in the most convenient 
manner for reference: first, alphabetically by states; second, alpha¬ 
betically (by Greek letters, indicating names of chapters) by chapters 
in each state; third, by classes, each placed under the class in which 
he graduated, or where the University system is established, each man 
under the year in which he left College; fourth, alphabetically by names 
in the class; and the data of men is arranged in a uniform manner. Honor¬ 
ary men are placed at the head of the chapter list and are not classed. 
The dead are marked with an asterisk (*), and members of doubtful 
residence with an interrogation point (?), except those in large cities 
and those from whom our letters did not return. The history of an 
affiliate is placed under his initiate chapter, and under his affiliate 
chapter will be found his name with a vide referring to his class and 
chapter. To save space we have followed a regular system of abbreviation. 

For valuable help we are indebted, first, to the brothers of our own 
chapter and next to the Fraternity at large. Among many who gave us 
valuable assistance in collecting data are the Bunting Bros., especially 
George H., Tennessee Zeta, also Fred B. Graves, Tennessee Zeta, Neol 
McH. Moore, Georgia Beta, Arthur F. Latimer, Georgia Beta, Edward 
H. Almond, Georgia Delta, Wilbur J. Teeters, Ohio Sigma, and Wilmot 
S. Holmes, Tennessee Omega. We owe thanks to Harry H. Cowan, 
of the Record , and Albert M. Austin, E. S. T., for helpful suggestions. 

Many tables of use suggested themselves to the minds of the editors, 
but we have put in only those of general interest. We omitted many 
things that were in the old Catalogue because we believe they have 
served their purpose. 

The difficulties encountered in collecting the matter for a History and 
Catalogue are too well known to need lengthy comment. No Fraternity 
can boast of a perfect History and Catalogue. Many errors creep in 
because editors are compelled to follow copy sent them by many persons; 
many, because busy men will not take time to answer the editors’ cir¬ 
culars and letters. Most of the work of compiling and publishing this 
book has been done in the spare time which college men could take 
from their books. We give you the best book we could make in our 
limited time. Hoping to have laid a foundation on which future editors 
can build a more perfect work, as ever, 

Yours in bonds, 

THE EDITORS, 
Joseph “ D.” Clemens, Chief.

SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON FRATERNITY 


The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity is one of those organizations variously 
known as Greek-letter societies, college fraternities, or college secret societies. The 
societies themselves reject the last of these designations, for it is neither proper nor 
just to represent as the prominent characteristic of an institution, that which is merely 
a prudential incident of its organization. Greek-letter fraternities have no semblance 
to the Elusinian Mysteries of the Ancients, or to the Mysterious Rosicrucians of the Mid¬ 
dle Ages—their symbolic letters hide no mystic wisdom, and their esoteric teachings 
are naught but the truths of our common Christianity. Indeed such secrecy as theirs 
is no different from that which was practised by the early church, when the sign of the 
cross and the picture of the IX9Y2 were the secret signs of the Christian. As for any 
secrecy beyond this, it is “ a pure humbug.” Not only is the membership known, but 
the exercises and legislation of their assemblies are freely discussed in open journals. 

There is nothing more ridiculous than the startling lucubrations against the “infi¬ 
del college secret societies brought over from France by Thomas Jefferson, ” in which even 
such men as John Quincy Adams indulged during the anti-masonic excitement of the 
third and fourth decades of the century. These tirades assume a more serious aspect, 
however, when we consider the effect they have had. Had it not been for the misguided 
zeal of those times, probably no one would ever have thought of offering any objection 
to college fraternities ; and the students of so many of our institutions would not have 
been denied the benefit of their benign and humanizing influence. The antagonism to 
fraternities which is still manifested by a few college officers seems to have no better 
ground than this traditional misapprehension and an unpardonable ignorance of the ac¬ 
tual effects of the system. Col. Robert D. Allen, when superintendent of the Ken¬ 
tucky Military Institute, in one of his annual reports to the State Board, took occasion to 
say : “ Especial thanks are due and tendered to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Chi Phi Fra¬ 
ternities for the manner in which they have conducted themselves as organizations during 
the year. They have been productive of much good in the corps, and by surrounding 
the young man with companions who, he knows, care for him, who counsel, guide and re¬ 
strain him, they have been eminently useful aids in promoting a change to higher 
and better aims and efforts in more than one instance, during the year.” Col. Allen is 
not a member of any society. He further says : “ When, in any case, I have desired 

especial influence thrown around a student, I have requested members of these societies 
to do the work, and right nobly have they responded.” President Andrew D. White, 
of Cornell, also declared that he found the fraternities valuable aids in the government 
of his institution. The personal experiences of these men and of many other prominent 
educators is certainly worthy to be placed in evidence against the altogether a priora ob- 
jections of that venerable philosopher, Dr. McCosh of Princeton. 

The fraternity idea is an ancient and honorable one. It is so ancient that its origin 
is lost in the mists of legend. Away back in the border time of myth, when the 
Greeks went over from Attica into Asia Minor, they found there the Dionysian Fraternity 
already hoary with age, from which the Masonic Brotherhood is said to be descended.

Our early Celtic and Teutonic ancestors were also not without the same idea. Tacitus 
often mentions the mystic circles of knighthood, and the memory of the Knights of the 
Round Table, the champions of honor, is treasured in the legends of the middle ages. 

It is often asserted that the college fraternity is merely an adjunct ot Free Masonry. 
Without doubt many of the forms and ceremonies of the college societies are modeled 
after those of that ancient order, but beyond this the resemblance is merely superficial. 
Neither in purpose nor in obligations have the youug societies borrowed from the old. 
True, both are expressions of the fraternity idea, but the college fraternity has charac¬ 
teristics that ally it more nearly to the home. It is the expression of the social instincts 
of the American college student ; coming from the precincts of the American home, his 
fraternity is to him in the college life, what the family circle was in the world life. The 
obligations binding the members of the college fraternity are none other than those 
binding the members of the family circle, and its secrecy none other than that which 
should characterize the well regulated home. It is private, not secret. 

The fundamentum of the Greek-letter society is the local chapter ; the union of several 
local chapters constitutes the general fraternity. The general fraternity gives stability 
to the local chapter, and broadens the interests and sympathies of its members. If it 
be true, as claimed, that the fraternity narrows the young man’s interests in the college, 
it certainly affords free scope for his sympathies in the greater college world. He is 
made to feel that he is not alone, but that his failures and triumphs are matters of 
concern not only to the local brotherhood, but also to the wider general fraternity ; 
and the young man’s devotion to his fraternity is of the same order as the noble senti¬ 
ments of patriotism and altruism. 

The college fraternity is emphatically an American institution. It has no prototype 
nor even remote kinsman in any of the student clubs of the European universities. It 
is not, as some have avered, either the fruit or the nursery of aristocratic exclusiveness ; 
it is the offspring of American liberty and democracy. It is a representative American 
institution, and sprang into being during the first year of American Independence. 

Phi Beta Kappa, the first of the Greek-letter fraternities, was organized on the 5th 
day of December, 1776, at the College of William and Mary in the Colony of Virginia. 
There have been various accounts of its founding and the motives therefor ; but the 
discovery of the original minutes of the society a few years ago, proves that it was 
truly a fraternity of the modern type, a structure, as its record runs, “ with friendship 
as its basis, and benevolence and literature as its pillars,” its founders being animated 
“ by a happy spirit and resolution of attaining the important ends of society.” The 
original chapter of Phi Beta Kappa came to an end in January, 1781, the college at 
that time disbanding because of the “ confusion of the times ; ” but the year previous, 
‘charters” had been granted for the establishment of chapters of the fraternity at 
Yale and Harvard. These New England chapters have continued to the present time, 
and have been the nucleus of a powerful organization ; but they at once diverged very 
far from the first ideal of the fraternity, and the present Phi Beta Kappa is a graduate 
honorary society. 

As a general fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa remained alone for nearly fifty years. But 
in 1825, a new era began ; Kappa Alpha was organized at Union. Mr. Wm. R. Baird, 
says : “ This society was, in its external features at least, an imitation of Phi Beta 
Kappa * * * It met with much opposition, but was secretly popular with the 
students, who paid it the sincere compliment of imitation by the foundation in the 
same college of Sigma Phi and Delta Phi. These three fraternities were the founders 
of the present fraternity system. Imitation of them or opposition to them will 
account tor the establishment of nearly all the general fraternities.” Since that time 




FRATERNITY HISTORY.

the development of the system has been steady and rapid. There are now (1893) 
thirty general fraternities with a membership of over a hundred thousand, and property 
the estimated value of which is over a million and a half. In addition to these, there 
are twelve ladies’ societies, with a membershipof over ten thousand ; and eighteen pro¬ 
fessional societies, with a membership of probably five thousand. It has been usual to 
classify the general fraternities into eastern, western and southern, but this classi¬ 
fication is, for the most part, purely fanciful, the gens different being neither race nor 
nationality, but merely that accidental quality, place of birth. Those generally de¬ 
nominated eastern, such as Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, and Psi Upsilon, 
are older, more consolidated and usually more conservative than the so-called western 
and southern fraternities ; but the lapse of time is obliterating even this distinction. 
As for territory actually occupied—before the war, most of the eastern societies had 
flourishing chapters in many of the southern institutions, as had also some of those of 
western origin : and at the present time many fraternities might justly be styled 
national. Among the earliest of the western fraternities were those of the “ Miami 
Triad,” Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi, which were founded at Miami 
University, Oxford, Ohio, in ’39, ’48 and ’55 respectively. Phi Gamma Delta originated 
at Jefferson College, Cannonsburg, Pa., in 1848. Of the “ southern fraternities,” 
besides Sigma Alpha Epsilon, but two existed in the days before the war, the Rainbow, 
or W. W. W., organized at the University of Mississippi in ’48 ; and Southern Chi 
Phi, established at the University of North Carolina, in ’58. Both these societies have 
since amalgamated with other fraternities, the Rainbow being absorbed by Delta Tau 
Delta in ’86, and Southern Chi Phi uniting with two other societies of the same name. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is therefore the oldest fraternity of unblemished southern origin, 
and the only southern fraternity founded before the war. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was cradled in the University of Alabama. This institution 
was established in 1820, at Tuscaloosa, which was then the seat of the State government. 
It is one of those well organized State universities in which fraternities delight to plant 
chapters. It has received chapters of eleven fraternities, three being represented before 
our appearance. The first to enter was Delta Kappa Epsilon, which placed there its 
seventh chapter, Psi, in 1847. In 1851, Alpha Delta Phi followed Delta Kappa Epsilon, 
and in 1855, the Theta chapter of Phi Gamma Delta made its appearance. 

These fraternities it was under whose shadows was accustomed to meet the little band 
consisting of Noble Leslie Devotie, Nathan Elnes Cockrell, Samuel Marion Dennis, 
Wade H. Foster, John Webb Kerr, Abner E. Patton, John Parratt Rudulpli and Thomas 
Chappel Cook, from which evolved the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. How much 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon is indebted to these three fraternities we cannot know. Probably 
the shape of our badge was suggested by the diamond badges of Delta Kappa Epsilon 
and Phi Gamma Delta. But, as a writer in The Record has remarked, “If the existing 
fraternities were used as models in other respects, it is a source of gratification to S. A. 
E. that the patterns were societies of the highest standing in the east and west.” 

It was not, however, until the 9th of March, 1856, that this coterie of friends formed 
that permanent organization known as the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. On the 
night of this day they assembled in Johnson’s school house—a little brick structure still 
standing in Tuscaloosa—for the avowed purpose of organizing a fraternity. 

This meeting of a portion of the students of the University of Alabama was called to 
order by Noble Leslie Devotie. The first resolution recorded was, “that no one be 
considered a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity except those then present.” 
Those then present included all the band of eight friends except Thomas Chappel Cook. 
He had left the University in the middle of his junior year* and was at that time a stu-

dent at Princeton. At a subsequent meeting, however, he was, by unanimous vote, de¬ 
clared a member of the fraternity. At the first meeting a committee of three were ap¬ 
pointed to draft a constitution ; and the design for the badge was selected. The second 
meeting was held on March 15th, in Little’s school room. The committee on constitu¬ 
tion brought in its report, which, with a few amendments, was adopted, and the founders 
all affixed their signatures. 

The first officers under the constitution were, John W. Kerr, president; JohnB. Ru- 
dulph, vice president ; Noble Leslie DeVotie, corresponding secretary ; and Samuel 
Marion Dennis, recording secretary. 

The first neophyte was also elected at this meeting. Newton Nash Clements. Shortly 
afterwards, James Atwood Bullock, John Dozier McLaughlin, James Forrest Tarrant, 
Lucius Owen, Robert Kershaw Wells, and Gustavus Adolphus Wynne were brought into 
the circle. 

These fourteen who constituted the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity during the first 
scholastic year of its existence, were typical college students, fun-loving, mischief¬ 
making, lovers of “ youthful jest and jollity;” yet withal young men of high and noble 
aspirations, with a good deal of serious thought and sober earnestness underlying and 
dominating their whole conduct. They did not intend and never allowed their frater¬ 
nity meetings to be scenes of the boisterous hilarity which some people have supposed to 
characterize fraternity gatherings. Indeed they formulated some very strict rules for 
the governance of their assemblies ; and, what is more to the point, they enforced these 
rules with great rigidity, yet evidently in excellent spirit. It is interesting to read the 
minutes of a meeting during which “Cockrell was fined for failing to produce the essay 
assigned him on the literary programme;” “ Clements was fined twice for having his 
foot on chair;” “ Bullock was fined for addressing the president without rising;” and the 
master spirit, DeVotie, was fined “for disorderly conduct ;” and then to note the secre¬ 
tary’s remark—“ adjourned after an interesting and fraternal meeting? ” It is evident 
that these were real live college boys of the modern stripe, always intending, as boys 
always do, to be a great deal better than they could he, being boys. Although their 
regular meetings were generally devoted to business and literature, nevertheless they 
found each other good comrads on many an occasion of social good cheer ; and often the 
secretary completes his minutes with some such remark as—Adjournment being in 
order, the members retired to the university where they feasted the physical man on 
the fat thighs of a Shanghai gobbler.” They were whole-souled and manly young men 
to whom we are proud to point, as the founders of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In college, 
the’conduct of all of them was beyond reproach, and worthy of emulation ; and in the 
world beyond the college walls, though young, they were found worthy to take leading 
parts in the tempestuous scenes enacted in those stirring times. 

Mother Mu enrolled twenty-one members during her ante-bellum existence. Of these, 
thirteen were in the confederate service, all but four as officers, there being four 
colonels, one major, three captains, a chaplain, a surgeon, and a lieutenant among 
them. Of these thirteen, seven died during the war, and there are only six still living. 

Of the eight founders of our fraternity, the master mechanic is conceded to have been 
Noble Leslie De Votie. 

*Rev. N. L. DeVotie, founder of the S. A. E. Fraternity, was born in the beautiful 
city of Tuscaloosa, Ala., on the 24th of January, 1838. His father, the Rev. Dr. J. H. 
DeVotie, one of the most eminent Baptist ministers of the south, was at that time pastor 
of the Baptist church at Tuscaloosa, which city was then the seat of government of

Alabama. Just three years previously the Rev. l)r. DeVotie, while pastor of the Bap¬ 
tist church at Montgomery, Ala., had Jed to the altar one of the best and fairest maidens 
of the city, Miss Margaret Christian Noble, who thus became the mother of him we now 
memorialize. In him father and mother eventually found a son of whom to be proud, 
and one whose life, though brief, was like the sun, which shineth more and more unto 
the perfect day. In them he possesed parents whose loving devotion and faithful piety 
led his feet early into wisdom’s ways, and created for him that character which, as a 
garment of serene luster, shrouds his memory while dead, and which, when he was liv¬ 
ing, excited the love and admiration of all with whom he became acquainted. 

In the early days of his boyhood Noble DeVotie was as cheerful, active and frolicsome 
as children usually are ; but as the years passed he grew more thoughtful and studious, 
and when but half through his twelfth year was converted to the faith of his fathers, 
made a profession of personal religion, and united himself with the Baptist church at 
Marion, Ala. His father had in the meantime removed from Tuscaloosa to Marion, and 
assuming pastoral relations with the Baptist church there, had begun a work eminently 
distinguished for its usefulness and laborious faithfulness. A large portion of that use¬ 
fulness consisted in the endowment of Howard College, an excellent Baptist institution 
of learning at Marion, in which Noble DeVotie prosecuted his studies faithfully and 
advantageously to himself until his seventeenth year, when he concluded to enter the 
University of Alabama, then presided over by the eminent Dr. Basil Manly, Sr. Enter¬ 
ing the junior class, he devoted himself most assiduously to his studies, and graduated 
in 1857, with first honors of his class. While in college Mr. DeVotie’s conduct was so 
unexceptionable and his character so exalted that Dr. Garland, who had assumed the 
presidency of the University, praised him publicly in the highest terms. And Dr. 
Manly, the former president, who had known him well during his entire college course, 
said of him : “ I have never seen or heard anything of Noble during his college course 
which I could condemn.” 

The influence which he acquired over the young men of the institution by his exalted 
worth and intellectual capacity was something extraordinary. While it was due mostly 
to his moral excellence and to.the uprightness and rectitude of his conduct, yet it was 
in a large measure due to the moral heroism and undaunted firmness of purpose he mani¬ 
fested in maintaining a position in accordance with his convictions of right and duty 
under circumstances of the most trying nature. It so happened that there occurred in 
the University one of those unfortunate conflicts between the faculty and the students 
which becloud the history of most institutions of learning. The entire array of students 
joined in rebellion, for some supposed wrong, against the constituted authorities, and 
signed a paper by which they mutually agreed to support each other in opposition to 
the faculty. One man firmly refused to co-operate with the rebellious students, re¬ 
mained faithfully in the path of duty, and declined to sign the article of agreement. “ But 
you must sign it,” said a student, seizing hold of him. “If you do not, it will ruin 
you for life.” “I will see my right arm cut off before I sign that paper without my 
father’s consent,” was the heroic reply. Only four others in the whole college followed 
his example and remained faithful to right and duty. Many of the students who par¬ 
ticipated in the rebellion were expelled from the institution, and so far from ruining 
himself in the estimation of his fellow-students and comrades, Noble DeVotie was after¬ 
wards most highly commended and admired for his adhesion to the right, under such 
trying circumstances, by the very ones who made the assertion. 

Trials like this show the pure gold in a man’s nature and character ; but it was the 
even tenor of a pious, useful life ; the earnest and persistent efforts he made to benefit 
those around him ; the noble example he set to friend and companion in his daily con-

duct and conversation, that exalted him most in the esteem of those who knew him, 
and gained him the power to exert a beneficial influence upon others. 

Most worthy of commemoration are these noble traits of his, and a shining example 
do they afford to all young men desirous of reigning in the esteem of others and 
becoming beneficial to the world. 

When Noble DeVotie entered the University at Tuscaloosa, he transferred his church 
relations to that city ; and when, after his graduation, the Baptist church at Tuscaloosa, 
conferred upon him a license to preach the Gospel, he determined to enter at once upon 
a thorough theological course of study. For that purpose he entered the Theological 
Department at Princeton, New Jersey, for the reason that the Southern Baptist Theo¬ 
logical Seminary did not at that time afford the full course he desired. For three 
years he studiously reaped the benefits of the advantages he enjoyed, and at the end of 
1859, returned to Columbus, Georgia, whither his father had removed in order to accept 
the pastorate of the Baptist church in that city. 

At that time, Noble DeVotie was one of the first Baptist ministers of his age in the 
south. Young, healthy, full of zeal and energy, highly educated and cultivated, with 
natural capacities of a very superior quality, and with all that warm-hearted frankness, 
geniality, and gentlemanly courtesy which make men popular and beloved and influen¬ 
tial, he was fully prepared to enter upon a life of honor and usefulness. He accepted 
a call extended to him by the Baptist church at Selma, Alabama, to become its pastor, 
was ordained to the full work of the Gospel ministry on the 20th of November, 1859, 
and entered with great energy and devotion upon the duties of a city pastor. Soon he 
had gained the warm confidence and affection of the young men of his church and of 
the community, and exerted over them that same beneficial influence that had been 
peculiar to him in his college course. He was respected by the entire community, and 
was loved and admired by his church and congregation, and his life, for one glad, use¬ 
ful year, was like the path of man walking with joyous heart and buoyant spirit 
over a flowery mead, with the brightest prospects in view. 

When the tocsin of war sounded, and the young men of Selma flocked around the 
Confederate standard, and with patriotic ardor took up arms to battle for the cause they 
esteemed right, dear, and most sacred, he, animated by a like enthusiasm, and desiring 
to make himself useful even amid war’s alarms and dangers, requested permission to ac¬ 
company them in the capacity of an army chaplain. They gladly assented, and he 
went with the “Independent Blues” and “Governor’s Guards” to Mobile as their 
chaplain. The companies were assigned to duty at Fort Morgan, where Noble DeVotie 
was appointed chaplain of the fort by the commander. At that fort the light of his life 
suddenly, and by a most mysterious Providence, went out on the night of February 12, 
1851. He had gone down to the wharf to bid farewell to some friends on the boat 
which was returning to the city, and by some sad mistake stepped off the wharf in the 
darkness, and was swept out to sea by the rapid tide. Three days afterwards his body 
was washed ashore from the briny deep, unmutilated and unaltered. It was taken up 
by loving hands, and borne many miles to Columbus, Georgia, accompanied by loving 
hearts and tearful eyes, and delivered to his grief-stricken parents. Amid universal 
tears and lamentation at the untimely end of a life so full of promise, the body was laid 
beneath the sod in the cemetery at Columbus, Georgia. And each year since then 
beautiful spring flowers are strewn, by those who love his memory, upon the mound 
which indicates wherein his body lies awaiting the resurrection morn. 

Thus early passed away one whose life, character, and conduct are worthy of emula¬ 
tion, and who, though young, made no insignificant mark upon the generation in which 
he lived. With his death bright talents were quenched ; a warm, generous, loving

heart ceased to pulsate ; a teuder, affectionate, and dutiful brother and son passed from 
earth ; remarkable capacities for usefulness were suddenly extinguished, and a shining 
example for all young men brought to an untimely end ! But no ! such is not the case. 
Noble Leslie DeVotie still lives in the memory ot those who knew him ; and with those 
who knew him not, the beneficial effects of his short brilliant, and useful life will long 
be felt in the steps for good which he set on foot and carried to a successful issue. 

The first president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, John Webb Kerr, was graduated from 
the University of Alabama with the class of ’56. Like many others of his class-mates, 
Bro. Kerr then commenced the study of Law, and entered the Howard Law School, 
from which he received the degree of LL. B. He was admitted to the bar in ’58, and 
has since been engaged in an extensive law practice in St. Louis, Missouri. 

Thomas Chappel Cook, the first alumnus of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was born Septem¬ 
ber 19, 1836, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In due time he entered the University of Ala¬ 
bama, where he remained until he had completed half the junior year. Leaving that 
institution in ’56, he entered Princeton, ranking with the class of ’57. Immediately 
after graduation, Brother Cook went to New York, where he began the study of medi¬ 
cine under the direction of T. Gaillard Thomas, and where he also attended lectures 
during the summer and winter of ’57. Returning to Alabama in April, ’58, he received 
the appointment of apothecary and resident student in the Charity Hospital at Mobile. 
He held this position until November of the same year, when he entered the University 
of Pennsylvania, remaining in that institution until he received his diploma in April, 

1859. For the next two years, Dr. Cook practiced his profession in his natjve State, 
and received during this time the master’s degree from both Princeton and the Univer¬ 
sity of Alabama, fitting testimonials of his high scholarship and noble character. In 

1860, he found his way to Texas, where he continued the practice of medicine until 
1884. In that year an unsought honor came to Dr. Cook, he was called out by his fel¬ 
low-citizens of Colorado county, as a man abundantly qualified to represent his district 
in the legislature. He served one term with the conscientiousness and high sense of 
honor which has ever distinguished him, and then returned to the practice of medicine 
at Weimar. He now holds the positions of city physician of Weimar, county physi¬ 
cian of Colorado county, and United States examining surgeon. 

Nathan Elnes Cockrell, was early called away trom the scenes of his earthly activities. 
He graduated from the University of Alabama, with the class of ’56, and after hardly 
three years of active life, died at his home at Livingston, Alabama, on the 17th of June, 
1859. Although he was so young, and his career so short, he had nevertheless climbed 
to a position of importance and influence, being editor of the Livingston Messenger at the 
time of his death. 

Abner Edwin Patton, graduated at the University of Alabama, in the class of ’57, and 
at the beginning of the war was practicing law at Knoxville, Alabama. Brother Patton 
enlisted in the Confederate army and died in the service, July 13, 1863. 

Samuel Marion Dennis graduated at Princeton in ’57, and practiced law at Columbus, 
Texas, until his State called for volunteers to uphold the southern cause. Bro. Dennis 
died at St. Louis, Mo., in 1864, while serving in the Confederate army. 

Wade Foster, after graduating at the University of AlabamaVith the class of ’56, was 
a merchant at Marshall, Texas, until his death in 1867. 

John Barrett Rudulph, graduated from the University of Alabama, in ’56, and at once 
took a prominent position among the political leaders of the State, and was a member 
of the State Convention of ’61. At the breaking out of the war, he enlisted as a captain 
in the Tenth Regiment of Cavalry, and was promoted to the rank of major the same 
year. On November 27, 1864, he became colonel of the regiment. Col. Rudulph was 



Xvi SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. 

a gallant soldier, and bears the marks of his service. He lost his right arm at New 
Hope Church, Georgia, in June, ’64. Since the war, he has resided on his estate at 
Pleasant Hill, Alabama, but has taken an active interest in public affairs, performing 
the duties of several public offices, and being president and trustee of the Pleasant Hill 
Male and Female Academy. 

Newton Nash Clements, the first initiate into the mysteries of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was 
born in Tuscaloosa in the year 1836. After pursuing a course of studies at the Univer¬ 
sity of Alabama, he completed his education at Harvard University, graduating in ’59. 
At the breaking out of the civil war, Bro. Clements immediately offered his services 
to his State, and was appointed to a captaincy in the Army of the Confederacy. His 
courage and good judgment soon secured his promotion, and in rapid succession he was 
a major, lieutenant and colonel. After the close of the war Col. Clements took an active 
part in the re-organization of his State. From ’70 to ’72, and from ’76 to ’78, he was a 
member of the Alabama House of Representatives, serving as speaker during the last 
period. His hand has also been felt in national affairs. He was a member of the Demo¬ 
cratic National Convention of ’76, and was representative of the Sixth Congressional 
District in the Forty-sixth Congress of the United States. Bro. Clements is now practic¬ 
ing law in Tuscaloosa, and takes an enthusiastic interest in the fraternity of which he 
was the first neophyte. 

The official title of the fraternity was then, as now, 2. A. E., these letters being the 
initials of the Greek words composing its motto. Of course a great many interpreta¬ 
tions have been put upon these letters by the uninitiated, some ridiculous and others 
more ridiculous, but one, proposed by some Georgians, is well worth remembering and 
heeding by all 2. A. E.—2of Adeltpog E ifit. “/ am thy brother.” The secondary motto 
beginning with the letters $. A. was also adopted at the same time. 

The fraternity seems, originally, to have contemplated the initiation of none but mem¬ 
bers of the three upper classes, and Mother Mu never enrolled a freshman. At the end 
of the first year, indeed, it was proposed to initiate the outgoing freshmen, just before 
commencement, without allowing them the privilege of wearing the badge until the 
next year, but this was never done. 

Another peculiarity of the early life of the fraternity was ihe assumption by the in¬ 
itiate of an individual Greek motto, the initial letters of which were always to be at¬ 
tached to his name in the fraternity roster. These mottos were at first called ‘ ‘ degrees, ’ ’ 
afterward, T0II0I ; and had special reference to the member’s duties in the literary work 
of the fraternity. These literary duties were then an important factor in the fraternities’ 
life, every member being required to compose a certain number of essays during the 
year, and to serve in the discussion of topics. 

It is evident that from the beginning our founders planned, not merely a local organi¬ 
zation, but a great general fraternity which should have chapters in all the first-class 
institutions of the south. The original constitution adopted by them before any cor¬ 
respondence was had relative to establishing a second chapter, contained an article de¬ 
fining the duties of the officers of the chapters and of the officers of the Grand Chapter, 
and specifying the number of times the corresponding secretaries of the chapters should 
write to the Grand Chapter during each year. 

The first step toward extension was made in January, ’57. On the 11th of that 
month the chapter at Tuscaloosa received a note from Thos. C. Cook, then at Princeton, 
enclosing a letter from Talbott Adams, a student of South Carolina College, in which 
Mr. Adams signified his desire to join the order. A. E. Patton, corresponding secretary, 
was authorized to communicate with him, and on the 7th of February, a letter was 
read in which Mr. Adams stated that he would do everything in his power to establish 


/

a. chapter of the fraternity at Soqth Carolina College. He was, however, unsuccess¬ 
ful in his effort, and having signed the pledge of the fraternity. Talbott Adams was 
enrolled as a member of the mother chapter. 

Bro. Cook’s next move was more successful. On the 17th of January, 1857, he 
wrote the chapter that several of his friends were desirous of starting a chapter of 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, in the Western Military Institute, at Nashville, Tenn.; and en¬ 
closed their pledges. The application was favorably received, and the constitution was 
sent to Jos. Harris Fields, of Nashville. So Tennessee Nu, or, as it was then called, the 
Nashville Chapter was the first scion of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 

On February 7, 1857, the mother chapter received a letter from John D. Kerr, who 
had graduated at the last commencement, stating that if it were the wish of the frater¬ 
nity, he would organize a chapter at Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tenn. Bro. 
Kerr was, however, not successful in his undertaking; and a chapter was not established 
there until 1860. At the next meeting, February 14, John Martin Fleming applied for, 
and obtained authority to establish a chapter at the University of North Carolina, 
Chapel Hill, and North Carolina Xi came into existence. 

There were now four chapters in the fraternity, and the mother chapter thought it 
advisable to call a convention, and on April 25, instructed the corresponding secretary 
to invite the chapters to convene in Tuscaloosa, after commencement. The convention, 
however, did not materialize until the following year. 

May 30, 1857, a petition was received from D. M. Thompson, R. H. Spencer, F. W. 
Middleton, R. M. Simmons and Wm. J. Westbrook, of Union University, Murfreesboro, 
Tenn., for permission to enter the fraternity. This request was a surprise to the frater¬ 
nity, and the Mother Chapter having no voucher for the character of the petitioners, 
referred the matter to the Nashville Chapter for investigation. This chapter reporting 
favorably, the founding of Tennessee Lambda Omega , was authorized July 4, 1857. 

The first chapter after the original chapter to undertake the work of extension was 
North Carolina Xi, then called the Chapel Hill Chapter. December 12, 1857, a request 
was received from Chapel Hill to be allowed to establish a chapter in William and Mary 
College, Williamsburg, Va. The request was, of course, granted, and in January, 1858, 
Thaddeus Kosciusko Fornis, of McKudy, Ala., then a student at William and Mary, 
founded the Williamsburg Chapter. Virginia Kappa. 

About the same time, too, the Nashville Chapter desired permission to establish 
chapters at Tallehassee, Florida, and at Oaklin, Mississippi. But the Grand Chapter was 
not satisfied with the standard of the institutions, and after re-consideration the Nash¬ 
ville Chapter withdrew the petitions. 

At the commencement in July of ’56, the trustees of the University of Alabama had 
passed a resolution requiring all future matriculates to sign an agreement not to join 
any secret organization while attending the University. The fraternities then existing 
had failed to induce the authorities to remove this restriction, consequently it was nec¬ 
essary for them either to suspend operation or bring in initiates*through broken pledges. 
Some of them chose the latter alternative, and continued their existence sub rosa. 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, however, realizing that the matriculation pledge was as binding 
as any other solemn obligation, in the beginning of the succeeding year resolved to initiate 
no new men ; and finally, in compliance with the regulations, discontinued the regular 
weekly meetings. The last meeting was held January 9, 1858, with T. L. M. Owen as 
president, and R. R. Wells as secretary. At this meeting they burned all the essays 
and useless papers in the hall, and resolved to transact the business of the general fra¬ 
ternity privately through the corresponding secretary. Thus expired the Mother Chap-

ter of the fraternity, after an existence of hardly two years. But she had lived long 
enough to bring into being an idea whose growth has marvelously fulfilled the strangly 
prophetic motto hidden in <E A. 

The brothers at Tuscaloosa continued to direct the affairs of the order until the sum¬ 
mer of ’58. During that time, four more chapters were added to the roll. The chap¬ 
ter at the University of Virginia, Virginia Omicron , was founded February 16, 1858; and 
on February 28, R. S. Camp, Joel Griffin, C. C. Sanders, cadets of the Georgia Military 
Institute at Marietta, were initiated by Cadet John S. Gannier, formerly of Tennessee 
Nu, assisted by Vernon H. Vaughan, originally of the Mother Chapter but at the time 
affiliated with North Carolina Xi. Thus was founded Georgia Pi. About the same time, 
Texas was entered by the establishment of Texas Theia at Baylor University, Indepen¬ 
dence ; and a little later, in April, ’58, a chapter was organized in Kentucky at Bethel 
College, Russellville, Kentucky Iota. Bethel College was taken for Sigma Alpha Epsilon 
by John M. Pendleton of Tennessee Lambda Omega. 

There were now, if we may include the Mother Chapter, nine chapters in the frater¬ 
nity, when the long talked of convention assembled immediately after the commence¬ 
ment of Union University, at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The minutes of this, the first 
convention, like most of the ante-bellum records of the fraternity, are irrecoverably lost ; 
but it is evident that a system—if it may be called system—of chapter nomenclature 
was adopted. Previous to this time, the chapters had been called by the name of the 
place in which they were located ; as, the Tuscaloosa Chapter, the Chapel Hill Chapter, 
and the Murfreesboro Chapter ; but after this convention they were designated by some 
letter of the Greek alphabet. Each chapter appears at first glance to have chosen its 
own letter, and to have been governed in the choice by nothing better than mere 
caprice. 

Possibly, however, “Mother Mu” was so called because “Mu” is the equivalent of 
the initial of “ Mother,” and then, Mu being as near the middle of the Greek alphabet 
as a letter can be, possibly the other chapters were given, in order of their establishment, 
the letters following and preceeding Mu in alternation. Thus the chapter roll arranged 
chronologically would be Mu, Nu, Lambda, Xi, Kappa, Omicron, Iota, Pi, Theta. This 
is very nearly the order as we now have it. But if this was the method then adopted, it 
was soon forgotten, for the next chapter was called Chi—very likely because it was the 
tenth founded, the Greek character being X. 

Whether there was any real plan adopted or not, the resulting confusion proved very 
inconvenient. The convention of ’86, however, cured the evil by prefixing the State 
name to the chapter letter. Thus, the Mother Chapter is now called Alabama Mu, and 
the Nashville Chapter, Tennessee Nu. The selection of the chapter letter still depends 
upon preference ; sometimes the chapter—as is in the case of North Carolina Rho Rho, 
founded by Washington City Rho—is named after its founder ; sometimes it selects the 
initials of the institution at which it is established—as is the case with Massachusetts 
Beta Upsilon at Boston University, and a few chapters—the Alphas of California, Con¬ 
necticut and New York—have been guided by the chronological idea. Nebraska 
Lambda Pi is said to have been so named in honor of a young lad} 7- instrumental in its 
founding. This want of system is, however, a matter of very little inconvenience, as 
there are not likely to be more than twenty-four chapters in any one State ; and the 
present system, while not ideally perfect, is nevertheless practically so. 

There is, however, one circumstance which has heretofore unpleasantly complicated 
our chapter roll, it is the naming of the chapter at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where this 
first convention assembled. At that time, the chapter was named Lambda ; but on its 
demise just before the war, its letter was given to a new chapter organized at the Cum-

berland University, Lebanon, Tennessee, the present Tennessee Lambda. In 1870, the 
chapter at Murfreesboro was revived and called Omega ; but becoming inactive with the 
death of the University a few years later, its second letter was given to another new 
chapter, the present Tennessee Omega, at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. 
Thus there has been on the roll two Tennessee Lambdas, and two Tennessee Omegas. The 
historian has taken the opportunity to obviate this difficulty; and has given the Murfrees¬ 
boro Chapter both these letters, making it Tennessee Lambda Omega. Throughout the 
remainder of the history, for convenience, the present chapter nomenclature will be used. 

Alabama Mu was now practically inactive. Most of her members had graduated ; and 
the few who remained, seeing no prospect of reinforcement, preferred to have the guid¬ 
ance of the fraternity left in the hands of an active and growing chapter. Accordingly 
the convention was called upon to select a successor to Mother Mu as Grand Chapter. 
North Carolina Xi at Chapel Hill, being the most centrally located of the older chap¬ 
ters, and having been very active and enthusiastic in the work of extension, was chosen 
for this important duty. It is evident, too, that the catalogue pub! ished in ’59 was or¬ 
dered by this convention. 

North Carolina Xi remained Grand Chapter for two years. During this time a con¬ 
vention was held at Columbia, South Carolina, in the summer of ’59, and four new 
chapters were established. Charles Stewart Shorter, of the Grand Chapter, scaled the 
walls of the Kentucky Military Institute at Farmdale, in the fall of ’58, and placed 
there that grand old fortress of the fraternity, Kentucky Chi. Immediately afterward, 
on the 30th of November, the National Capital was taken by Jewitt DeVotie, brother 
of our founder, who organized Washington City Eho at the Columbian University. In 
the spring of ’59, Georgia Eta was founded at Oglethorp University, Midway, Georgia, 
by I. A. Cody of the Grand Chapter ; and in the spring of ’60, Tennessee Lambda was or¬ 
ganized at Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tennessee ; about the same time, Virginia 
Upsilon was established at Hampden Sidney College, Hampden Sidney, Virginia, by G. 
P. Tarry of the Grand Chapter. 

At the convention which assembled in Columbus, Georgia, in 1860, Virgina Kappa of 
the College of William and Mary was made Grand Chapter. Virginia Kappa came to 
the helm of the fraternity during stormy times, and it is not her fault that the ship 
went the way of all the south in the tempest that now broke so fiercely. 

One charter was granted by Virginia Kappa. It was for the establishment of a chap¬ 
ter, to be called Tau, at the Centenary College, Jackson, Louisiana. But as far as can 
be ascertained at present, nothing was ever heard of the chapter. It was probably 
never formally organized, and is not on the official roll of the fraternity. Its three 
charter members, the only ones so far as known, are included in the lists of the then 
Grand Chapter, Virginia Kappa. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was, at that time, emphatically a southern fraternity, its chap¬ 
ters were in southern colleges, and its members were scions of southern families. Im¬ 
bued with thoroughly southern ideas, they gave their allegiance to their States, and 
their patriotism was fervent in the cause of the south. 

There probably never was a more ardent set of young men than the students of 
America at the breaking out of the Rebellion. At the first call “ To arms! ” the college 
halls were deserted, and the students were off to the war. More particularly was this 
the case in the south. In a short time the southern schools were left with neither stu¬ 
dents nor professors, and nearly every one of them suspended. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon shared the same lot. Every one of her chapters was disbanded 
except Washington City Eho. This chapter, being located in the National Capital, con¬ 
tinued its existence during the entire war. Yet most of its members took up arms, some

for the Union and some for the Confederacy. But our fraternity was little divided in 
this fratricidal strife. 

As one glances down the roll of anti-bellum Sigmas, there are few who are not found to 
have served, most of them as officers, in the armies of the Confederacy ; and there are, 
also, too, many more than a few before whose names the star denotes that they fell 
in battle. 

All honor to these brave men, these enthusiastic young men, these brothers of ours. 
Theirs were true hearts, whatever the cause they loved. They fought on the losing 
side, and were they living now they would rejoice that their cause was lost; but they 
fought well, and there is not one of them of whom Sigma Alpha Epsilon is not proud. 

The last chapter to be dismembered by the war was Georgia, Pi. In fact it may be 
said of this chapter as of Washington City Rlio, it “continued during the entire war,” but 
Pi continued in a very different sense—it went to the war en-masse. The cadets of the 
-Georgia Military Institute were not dispersed at the beginning of hostilities, but were 
organized by the Confederacy into a cadet corps. During the first three years of the war 
they were detained at Marietta under drill, and were ordered into active service on Sher¬ 
man’s approach to Atlanta, early in May, 1864. The cadets first battle was at Resaca. 
After that they were in constant service until they were mustered out May 20th, 1865, 
“ the last organized forces of the Confederacy east of the Mississippi.” During all this 
time Georgia Pi was in active organization, and its members were cheered with brotherly 
sympathy in the tedium of the drill ground and iu the dangers of the battlefield. 

There was at the same time in the Confederate army, a chapter of another fraternity, 
the famous “Constantine Chapter” of Sigma Chi, organized in the “Army of Ten¬ 
nessee” by members of various southern chapters of that fraternity. While Gen. Jos. 
E. Johnson, was contending with Sherman around Atlanta, these two chapters of Sigmas, 
Ga. Pi, of Sigma Alpha Epsilon , and the Constantine Chapter of Sigma Chi, were iu very 
close proximity; but there is no evidence that either was aware of the other’s existence. 

It is surprising with what energy the south took up the duties of peace after the ravages 
of war had been stayed. The echoes of the cannon and musket had hardly died away 
when the veterans of Lee and Johnson sent chasing after them the ringing notes of the 
anvil and the cheerful chirrup of the plowman. By the summer of ’66, the entire south, 
though but the shadow of its former self, was again a scene of rural peace and industry. 

Neither was intellectual culture allowed to lag behind the cultivation of the soil. 
As soon as the officers of the southern army dismounted from the saddle, while some of 
them returned to the plantation or the counting house, many of them took their stations 
in the lecture-room to lead to victories in the realm of knowledge. General Lee him¬ 
self assumed the presidency of Washington and Lee University. 

Many of the soldiers and officers of the southern army were, at the breaking out of 
the war, students in southern colleges. Indeed, as we have seen, almost the whole 
student body of the south had enlisted under the banners of their several States at the 
first bugle call. 

Many of these young men when the war was over resumed their interrupted studies, 
if not at their original college home, then at some other southern institution that had 
more quickly awakened from its war-time slumber. In this soil of anti-bellum stu¬ 
dents, the seed of Sigma Alpha Epsilon had been thickly strewn, and now immediately 
began to spring up. 

Virginia Omicron at the University of Virginia was the first of the chapters to be revived. 
It was re-organized in ’65 by R. C. Atkinson of Va. Kappa, ’58, and John Bagby of Wash¬ 
ington City Rho,’62, who were soon afterwards joined by Samuel Moss Wynn and Samuel 
Spencer of Georgia Pi. About the same time Tennessee Lambda , at Cumberland Univer-

sity, was re-established by some of her own former members ; and a little later two new 
chapters sprang np spontaneously : Georgia Beta at the University of Georgia at Athens,, 
and Mississippi Gamma , at the University of Mississippi at Oxford. Mississippi Gamma 
was established in May, 1866, by Thomas B. Manlove, of Tennessee Nu, and Georgia 
Beta was founded early the same year by G. T. Goetchins, J. R. McKleskey and Samuel 
Spencer of Georgia Pi. The founding of Georgia Beta was first conceived by Bros. 
Goetchins and McKleskey on the last night of the year 1865 ; and its accomplishment 
was first made known to the college world on commencement day in the following July, 
when the members appeared “ wearing neat white silk badges bearing the letters ‘ 2. 
A. E.’, the beautiful gold badges of the fraternity not being purchasable so soon after 
the war.” Thus during the first year of the re-opening of the southern colleges, Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon entered upon the period of its renewed existence with five chapters— 
including Washington City Rho, which was still alive but had not yet undertaken to 
revive the general fraternity. These chapters were in four widely separated localities, 
and appear to have existed for a time in total ignorance of each other. 

As appears from the annals of Georgia Beta, that chapter at first assumed the chap¬ 
ter letter “ Alpha,” supposing herself to be the first on the new chapter-roll. Hearing, 
however, of the existence of Virginia Omicron, and discovering through correspond¬ 
ence, that Omicron was a little the earlier of the two, she then adopted the letter 
“ Beta,” evidently withuot a knowledge of the existence of Washington City Rho. It 
is certain, therefore, that not even Washington City Rho and Virginia Omicron were in 
communication during the early part of ’56. Probably the chapters first became ac¬ 
quainted with each other through the correspondence of the members of Georgia Pi 
scattered among most of them. 

During the next year, 1867, the fire on the altar of Kentucky Chi was relighted, and 
three new altars were erected to the “ fair goddess,” Louisiana Epsilon at the Univer¬ 
sity of Louisiana at Baton Rouge, Tenn. Eta, at the Southwestern Baptist University, 
and Virginia Sigma at Washington and Lee University at Lexington. Virginia Sigma 
was founded by Frank B. Webb, of Mississippi Gamma, and Kentucky Chi was founded 
by S. D. McCormick, of Virginia Sigma. Tennessee Eta was established by W. H. Corry, 
ot Tennessee Lambda, and Louisiana Epsilon , by Charles Reed, of the ante-bellum Ten¬ 
nessee Nu. There were now nine chapters in the fraternity, and they began to be 
anxious to effect a closer union, and to bring again into operation the general organi¬ 
zation in effect before the war. A convention was, therefore, called to meet at Nashville, 
Tennessee, in July, 1867. From this convention dates the formal reorganization of the 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. Virginia Omicron was chosen Grand Chapter, and 
was ordered to compile and publish a catalogue. As W. A. Guerry says in his history 
published in the Fourth Catalogue, “The same spirit which nerved the Confederate 
soldier to become a peaceable and industrious citizen in the midst of the shattered 
hopes and fortunes of his country, also animated the ranks of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 
Her sons rallied to her standard as did the men of the Confederacy to the South, and 
the work of reconstruction began.” 

But the difficulties were great, and the obstacles nearly as numerous and stubborn 
as had been the legionaries of the North. For the next ten years, the life of the frater¬ 
nity was a struggle for existence, the chapter roll being but little lengthened during 
that time. Previous to the war, southern institutions had formed an almost ideal 
fraternity territory ; but now they were of necessity partakers of the “ confusion of the 
times,” and chapters situated in some of them led a precarious existence. 

During the year ’78 but one chapter was founded— South Carolina Phi, at Furman 
University, Greenville, S. C., by Joseph F. Deans, of Washington City Rho. During 


XXII 


SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. 


this year, too, Tennessee Eta, after a year’s activity, lapsed into one of those periods of 
somnolence which have since afflicted that member of the “ body fraternal.” The con¬ 
vention of this year was held just after the commencement of the University of Missis¬ 
sippi, at Oxford, Mississippi, the delegates being .generously entertained by Mississippi 
Gamma. The feature of this convention was the public oration delivered by I. E. 
Mathews, of Tennessee Lambda. 

The convention of the following year, ’69, convened at Athens, Ga., July 6th, the 
sessions being held in the Masonic Hall. 

Delegates were present from four chapters—Georgia Beta, Mississippi Gamma, Louisi¬ 
ana Epsilon and Virginia Omicron. A. C. Houze, Ga. Beta, was elected president ; H. 
P. Harvey, Miss. Gamma, vice president; S. S. Murdock, Ga. Beta, recording secretary; 
H. H. Cabaniss, Ga. Beta, corresponding secretary and J. H. Pope, Ga. Beta, treasurer. 

The convention occupied itself with the revision of the whole constitution, a commit¬ 
tee being appointed to arrange each section. This work was undertaken not so much 
to amend as to re-arrange the constitution and incorporate in it the amendments formerly 
passed. One innovation was however introduced—the chapters were given internal 
autonomy, with the proviso that their by-laws be submitted to the Grand Chapter every 
year. During the last year in which Virginia Omicron had been Grand Chapter, the 
fraternity had not made that progress which the members desired and expected ; the 
convention, therefore, removed the duty from Virginia Omicron and placed it upon 
Georgia Beta, which was more centrally located. 

It was indeed but a poor report which could be made for the year ’69. One new chap¬ 
ter had been founded—Mississippi Zeta, at Mississippi College, Clenton, Miss.; but 
Washington City Rlio and Louisiana Epsilon had disappeared from the active roll. 

Under the enthusiastic management of Georgia Beta, matters improved wonderfully 
during the year ’70. The business of the fraternity was dispatched with promptness ; 
Tennessee Eta was revived ; ante-bellum chapters, Tennessee Nu, and Tennessee Lambda 
Omega were resurrected ; and two new chapters were established, Alabama Beta Beta at 
Howard College, Marion, Ala., and Georgia Psi at Mercer University, Macon, Ga. 
Alabama Beta Beta was founded by Prof. George D. Bancroft, of Georgia Beta. 

The convention of ’70, assembled at Memphis, Tennessee, on the sixth of July, in the 
United States court room, delegates being present from Virginia Sigma, Georgia Beta, 
Kentucky Chi, Tennessee Eta, and Mississippi Gamma. T. S. Murdock, Ga. Beta, 
was elected president; L. D. McCormick, Va. Sigma, vice president; A. H. Lusk, Ky. 
Chi, recording secretary; J. M. Thompson, Ky. Chi, corresponding secretary, and L. 
E. Talbot, Tenn. Lambda, treasurer. Three prizes were established of twenty-five 
dollars each, for the best oration, essay and poem produced before the general conven¬ 
tion by undergraduate members. The prize for poem was won by B. B. B. Smith, 
and that for essay by W. D. Trammell. The necessity of some provision for the preser¬ 
vation of the historic material of the fraternity being felt, the office of general his¬ 
torian was created. The general historian was to hold office for ten years, and he was 
to publish from time to time the history of the general fraternity, including biographi¬ 
cal sketches of its illustrious men. This was an enthusiastic convention and resolved 
on great things. It was determined to place the fraternity in all the first-class institu¬ 
tions south of Mason and Dixon’s line. But, alas, for the purpose of man ! The 
impulse which Georgia Beta gave the work of extension proved to be but evanes¬ 
cent, and the fraternity settled back for the next six years into a state of placid inactiv¬ 
ity, that almost amounted to indifference with reference to extension. The internal 
workings of the fraternity went on smoothly and enthusiastically, and well attended 
conventions were held annually. 


FRATERNITY HISTORY.

The convention of’71, held in Nashville, Tenn., is memorable for the passage of the 
** Phinezy Amendment,” allowing the organization of the alumni into alumnus chapters. 

Alumnus Alpha was immediately formed at Atlanta, and was represented at the next 
convention, which assembled in that city July 23, 1872. The sessions of this conven¬ 
tion were held in Beethoven Hall, and were presided over by Frank Wilson, Tenn. 
Lambda; Allen Fort, Ga. Beta, being vice president ; A. A. Murphey, Ga. Beta, secre¬ 
tary ; and W. L. Brown. Ga. Beta, treasurer. All the chapters were represented— 
Georgia Beta, Alabama Beta Beta, Tennessee Eta, Tennessee Nu, Virginia Sigma, South 
Carolina Phi, Kentucky Chi, Georgia Psi, and Tennessee Lambda Omega. There was 
not much work done, but everybody had a “ glorious good time.” Public literary ex¬ 
ercises were held in the Georgia House of Representatives Hall on the evening of the 
23d. R. H. Goechins received the prize for essay, and W. B. Walker, that for oration. 
The last evening of the convention was devoted to the banquet given by the Georgia 
Sigmas, in Concordia hall. 

The convention of ’73 met at Louisville, Ky., and that of ’74 at Augusta, Ga. Both 
these conventions were like the Atlanta convention, enjoyable occasions, but resulted 
in little legislation. The convention of ’75 which met at Nashville, Tenn., August 
12th, was another of the same kind. 

Georgia Beta had now been Grand Chapter for six years and was willing that the ddty 
should be given to another. Accordingly the convention of ’76, which convened at 
Athens, the home of Georgia Beta, selected Virginia Sigma to carry the banner. This 
Athens convention was very hospitably entertained by Georgia Beta, and the occasion 
was one of great intellectual and social pleasure. The orator’s medal was won by P. 
W. Butler, of Ga. Psi, and that for poem, by T. R. Gilson, of Ga. Beta. 

Virginia Sigma found the fraternity at a low ebb, and was apparently not able to im¬ 
prove matters much. Since the first year that Georgia Beta was at the helm, not a 
single chapter had been permanently added to the roll. North Carolina BhoBho was es¬ 
tablished at the Carolina Military Institute, Charlotte, N. C., in ’76, but fell under 
anti-fraternity laws in the spring of the following year. Tennessee Lambda became in¬ 
active in ’71, was revived in ’74, and became inactive again in ’75. The charter of 
Mississippi Zeta was withdrawn for delinquency in ’72, and in the same year Tennes¬ 
see Lambda Omega went down with the Union University. The year following, ’73, 
Alabama Beta Beta sent in its charter owing to the determined opposition of the faculty; 
and in ’76, three chapters, Tennessee Nu, Tennessee Eta, and South Carolina Phi en¬ 
tered into a season of temporary inactivity. There was, therefore, great need that some¬ 
thing should be done ; and just the right thing was done. The convention of ’77 made 
that earnest, systematic, and enthusiastic chapter, Kentucky Chi, Grand'Chapter of the 
fraternity. 

This convention was held at Richmond, Va., in Ford’s Hotel, on the 9th, 10th and 
11th of July ; delegates being present from Georgia Beta, Virginia Sigma, Kentucky 
Chi, North Carolina Rlio Rho, and Georgia Psi. North Carolina Rho Rho, had sur¬ 
rendered her charter, but still took an active interest in the fraternity; and her delegate 
was warmly welcomed at the convention. R. H. Wildberger, Ky. Chi, was elected 
president; John M. Glenn, Jr., Va. Sigma, vice president ; A. D. Murphey, Ga. Beta, 
and A. I. Crovatt, N. C. Rho Rho, recording secretaries ; and R. H. Peek, Va. Sigma, 
corresponding secretary. 

The convention was assembled for business ; the banquet was dispensed with, and 
the convention went into committee of the whole to consider the constitution. One 
result of their work was the creation of the office of Grand Treasurer, to be filled, not 


XXIV 


SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. 


by the Grand Chapter, but by the general convention, from the members of the Grand 
Chapter. Ben. T. Farmer, Ky. Chi, was chosen the first Grand Treasurer. 

Immediately upon Kentucky Chi’s assumption of the reins of government, the ad¬ 
vance march began. That tireless worker and enthusiastic Sigma, Major R. H. Wild- 
berger, was president of the Grand Chapter ; and ably assisted by the Grand Treasurer 
and the other members of the Grand Chapter, he soon put the affairs of the fraternity 
on a sound business basis. In the fall of ’77, a charter was granted for the establish¬ 
ment of Kentucky Alpha, at Forrest Academy, Anchorage, Ky., which was then an in - 
stitution of collegiate grade. The charter was, however, withdrawn within a year, 
because of the degradation of the institution. The year ’78, saw three inactive chap¬ 
ters awakened from their slumbers, Tennessee Eta, Tennessee Lambda, and Tennessee 
Nu ; and two new chapters established. Alabama Alpha Mu was organized by W. H. 
Felton, Ga. Psi, at the Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College, Auburn, Ala., 
June the 15th. On the 14th of the following September, this chapter was instrumental 
in founding Alabama Iota at the Southern University, Greensboro, Ala. On the 1st of 
February Ohio Delta Alumnus was organized at Cincinnati through the efforts of Thos. 
Waters, Tenn. Nu, and on the same day by W. S. Earskin, Va. Sigma, Arkansas Tau 
Alumnus was formed at Little Rock. Georgia Omega Alumnus was established at 
Augusta, on the 5th of August. 

The convention of ’78, convened in Augusta, August 28th, 29th and 30th, under the 
auspices of the newly formed Omega Alumnus. Between March 1st and the time of 
the convention the Grand Chapter had sent out over a thousand circulars and postal 
cards. The result was a large attendance of alumni, all of whom were welcomed to the 
privilege of the floor. The chapters represented were Georgia Beta, Tennessee Lambda, 
Tennessee Nu, Georgia Psi, Kentucky Chi, Georgia Omega Alumnus and North Carolina 
Rlio Rho. This was the second time the last chapter appeared at the convention after 
its charter had been sent in. The delegate was warmly welcomed. The sessions were 
held in the hall of the Clinch Rifles. William H. Fleming, Ga. Beta, was president ; 

A. J. Crovatt, N. C. Rho Rho, vice president; S. Y. Tapper, Jr., Tenn. Nu, recording 
secretary, and W. B. Walker, Ga. Beta, chaplain. A feature of this convention full of 
good results was the discussion of a programme of topics that had been prepared by 
Major Wildberger. Three of these topics were especially worthy of consideration— 
“ How can we best promote S. A. E. principles, establish kephs, and organize alumni 
kephs so as to be productive of the highest good?”—“ How can we best overcome the 
objections of faculties opposed to secret organizations, and what is the duty of the fra¬ 
ternity in colleges where such organizations are prohibited ?”—“Would it be practicable 
to establish a magazine in the interest of the fraternity?” The immediate result of 
these discussions was the passage of a resolution introduced by J. H. Alexander, favor¬ 
ing the establishment of a fraternity magazine, and the appointment of a committee 
which during the summer prepared and printed an address to the officers of colleges op¬ 
posed to fraternities. 

Another truitful seed dropped by this convention was the “Starnes Memorial,” ad¬ 
dressed to the convention by H. N. Starnes of Savannah, on “ the need of a new funda¬ 
mental basis for our constitution.” It was referred to a committee which was to report 
at the next convention. This started the agitation which finally resulted in the com¬ 
plete remodeling of the system of government. Ben. T. Farmer was re-elected grand 
treasurer ; and the office of general historian having been declared vacant, Rev. William 

B. Walker was elected to that position. One of the most pleasant of the social events of 
the occasion was the entertainment given the delegates on the eveniug of the 28tli. at 
the house of Major Galinal, by the “Summerville Reading Club.” 


FRATERNITY HISTORY.

The next convention should have assembled during the summer of ’79, but owing to 
the prevalence of yellow fever at that time, the Grand Chapter, by general consent, 
postponed it until the winter. It was in session at Nashville, Tenn., December 22d, 
23d and 24th, in the Maxwell House. J. M. Spurlock, Jr., Ala. Iota, was president' 

S. B. Bottom, Ky. Chi, vice president, and J. C. Street, Ala. Alpha Mu, secretary; At 
the suggestion of W. LeRoy Brown, the “ Founder’s Medal” was established. 

The most' important work done by this convention, and indeed the most important 
legislation passed by any general convention, was the creation of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon 
Record. The matter had been carefully considered by the fraternity since the last con¬ 
vention, with the general agreement that a journal was a necessity. Major Wildberger 
was unanimously chosen editor-in-chief, with J. H. Alexander as assistant editor. Ben. 

T. Farmer was again unanimously re-elected grand treasurer. A peculiarly interesting 
resolution was one passed at this convention, “ Resolved , That it is contrary to the sense 
of this convention and to the spirit of our fraternity, to absorb or in any manner unite 
with any other college fraternity north or south.” 

In those days the eastern and western fraternities were just beginning to regard the 
south as again a desirable fraternity field, and in looking over the ground, some of them 
concluded that union with a well established southern fraternity would be the easiest 
and surest way to invade that section. They supposed too that the fraternities in the 
south were desirous of extending rlorth, and would appreciate an opportunity to amal¬ 
gamate with societies already in possession there. This being the case, the only ques¬ 
tion would be the basis of union. Hands were joined in some cases ; but Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon “gave the mitten ” to all her lovers of every degree. The first was Beta Theta 
Pi, and although Father Wooglin was rich in chapters, having just come into the estate of 
Alpha Sigma Chi in the east, Sigma Alpha Epsilon would have none of him. He afterward 
consoled himself by eloping with the Mystical Seven. Then came Delta Tau Delta from 
the west, with twenty-three chapters, only to share the same fate, Alpha Tau Omega 
fared no better ; although he pleaded southern origin. None of these fraternities 
came into competition with us at any institution, and judged from one point of view, 
union with any of them would have been beneficial to both parties. But Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon would not entertain the idea, preferring to maintain the brotherhood in its 
purity and integrity. Of course all these propositions were “ unofficial,” although they 
came from “boards of directors ” and “ extension committees.” 

During the year ’79, two new chapters had been organized. Early in September of 
that year, the Grand Chapter granted a charter to G. Roland Lyon, Ga. Psi, for the es¬ 
tablishment of Georgia Delta at the North Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical College, 
Dahlonega, Ga. The charter was dated September 29th. The following June^Tenwes- 
see Kappa was founded by J. E. D. Shipp of Alabama Alpha Mu. 

The organization of Alabama Alumnus Tau at Mobile, Ala., in December, raised a 
question which came before the convention of ’79 for settlement. This alumnus chap¬ 
ter wished to be empowered to initiate young men, non-collegians, under certain cir¬ 
cumstances. This privilege was conceded by the convention. The last act of the con¬ 
vention was the passage of a resolution making general conventions biennial. Conse- 
quentlyjthere was no convention in 1880. The year is, however, sufficiently marked by 
the first appearance of The Record —an event unequaled in importance by any that 
has occurred in the post bellum history of the fraternity, except the radical changes 
in policy and government that occurred later on. One chapter was revived in ’80, South 
Carolina Phi, after a slumber of four years. In the following year, 1881, four new 
chapters were founded. 

Texas Rho was organized at Marvin College, Waxahachie, Tex., on the 8th of February 


XXVI 


SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. 


by R. S. Goss, Ky. Chi.; aucl the same month, South Carolina Upsilon was established at 
the College of Charleston, by J. H. Armstrong, Ga. Beta, and S. Y. Tupper, Tenn. Nn. 
On the 20th of August, a chapter came into existence which was destined to play an 
important part in the history of the fraternity— Tennessee Omega at the University of 
the South, Sewanee, Tenn. W. B. Walker, Ga. Beta, was instrumental in its founding. 

Georgia Epsilon, was organized in October at Emory College, Oxford, by W. R. Brown 
and G. H. Nixon of Ga. Beta. 

The general convention of ’81 was held June 30th, and July 1st and 2d, at Atlanta, 
Ga., in the Georgia Senate Chamber. Delegates were present from Kentucky Chi, 
Alabama Tan Alumnus, Georgia Beta, Georgia Psi, Georgia Alpha Alumnus, Georgia 
Omega Alumnus, and Georgia Delta. Major R. H. Wildberger, Ky. Chi, was elected 
president; C. H. Nixon, Ga. Beta, vice president; D. W. Meadows, Ga. Beta, and P. 
M. Atkinson, Ga. Psi, recording secretaries; J. M. Johnson, Tau Alum., treasurer; R. 
I. Owens, Ky. Chi, door-keeper ; and W. B. Walker, Omega Alum., chaplain. The 
convention voted “ no banquet ” and proceeded to its work, which was however mostly of 
a routine character. During the last session, tidings was received of the attempted assas¬ 
sination of the President of the United States ; and like all assemblies of loyal citizens, 
the convention expressed its sorrow. The following resolution was adopted : “ Resolved , 
That we, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, in general convention assembled, having 
learned of the attempted assassination of James A. Garfield, President of the United States, 
hereby express our horror at this atrocious crime, and trust that the perpetrator may be 
brought to speedy justice; Resolved , That it is the sentiment of this body composed of dele¬ 
gates from all parts of the Southern States, that the nation can ill-afford to lose so emi¬ 
nent a statesman, so distinguished a Christian and philanthropist.” The convention 
was composed in great measure of alumni, and was especially interested in the organi¬ 
zation of the alumni. As a result of its deliberations, on motion of Howard Van 
Epps, a committee of five was appointed to report to the next convention a well digested 
scheme for the organization of the whole body of the alumni. This organization was 
to be beneficiary after the manner of the Knights of Honor, Knights of Pythias and 
other similar orders. The chapters, alumnus and active, were requested to send to the 
next convention, delegates instructed on this matter. 

Fortunately, or unfortunately, we hardly know which to say, the matter was dropped 
at the next convention, which assembled in Augusta, Ga., June 28th and 29tli, 1882. 
The sessions of this convention were held in the hall of the Knights of Honor, and were 
presided over by Charles Z. McCord, Omega Alumnus. Professor Gaskie Harrison, Tenn. 
Omega, was vice president; A. W. VanHoose, Ga. Delta, and I. W. Whelers, Ky, Chi, 
secretaries, and Major J. H. Young, Ky. Chi, chaplain. Major Young was chosen editor 
of The Record , Major Wildberger having resigned on account of press of business. 'The 
outlook, as evidenced by the reports of the various chapters, was gratifying in the ex¬ 
treme. Substantial progress had been made in every direction, and the convention was 
enthusiastic in its work. Alumnus Omega spared no pains in the entertainment of the 
delegates, and the banquet and the festival held at the “Platz” were thoroughly en¬ 
joyable occasions. The evening spent at the Platz was graced by a beautiful address, at 
the opening of the festival, by Hon. A. H. Cox, Ga. Beta. The literary exercises of 
the convention were also very interesting. W. A. Guerry, Tenn. Omega, delivered a 
masterly oration on “The Phenomenal not the Real;” George T. Goetchins, Ga. Pi. 
read an essay on “American and English Literature;” Burgess Smith, Ga. Beta, read 
an excellent original poem, “ The Valley of Forgetfulness;” and Prof. Robert Goss, Ky. 
Chi, teacher of elocution at Marvin College, recited “The Raven.” 

During ’82, South Carolina Upsilon, at Charleston College, gave up its charter because

of anti-fraternity laws. Its place was taken the same month, March, by South Carolina 
Delta, which was founded by Jas. G. Glass, Tenn. Omega, at South Carolina College, 
Columbia, S. C.; and on the 4th of March Kentucky Kappa was organized at Central 
University, Richmond, Ky., by Charles Welch. The third new chapter of the year, 
Tennessee Zeta , was established at the Southwestern Presbyterian University, on Nov. 
10th, by S. B. McGlohon, Tenn. Omega. In additiou to them, Mississippi Gamma was 
revived Dec. 16tli, by I. S. Whelers and Chas. B. Howy. 

The spirit of extension was now grown strong in the midst of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 
and the year ’83 witnessed a bold innovation, the first attempt at founding a chapter 
in the north. Pennsylvania Delta, was organized at Gettysburg, Pa., by R. H. Snively, 
Ky. Chi, in the spring of ’83. This movement was a surprise to the fraternity. This step 
was a little ahead of the times, but was one of the first in the advance movement that 
the fraternity has been making daring the past decade. Two other chapters were es¬ 
tablished during this year— South Carolina Lambda , at South Carolina Military Academy, 
Charleston, in November, by members of South Carolina Delta, and North Carolina 
Iheta , at Davidson College, by members of the same chapter, May 20th. 

Nearly every chapter was represented at the convention of ’83, which convened in 
Louisville, Ky., August 14th, 15tli and 16th, in the Y. M. C. A. rooms. The election 
of officers resulted in the choice of Major J. H. Young, Ky. Chi, as president; W. W. 
Brown, Alpha Alumnus, as vice president; and A. J. Smith, Ga. Epsilon, J. D. Mell, Ga. 
Beta, and J. A. Harris, Tenn. Omega, as secretaries. The historic legislation of this 
convention was the creation of the office of Eminent Herald, and the changing of the 
titles of the officers of the chapters and Grand Chapter from President and Grand Presi¬ 
dent, etc., to Eminent Archon and Eminent Grand Archon, etc. The constitution was 
so amended as to allow the convention to fill the office of E. G. A. as well as that of E. 
G. T., provided the officer was selected from the Grand Chapter. Kentucky Chi had 
now served six years as Grand Chapter, and had performed her duties with remarkable 
fidelity. She and her noble chiefs, Wildberger, Faimer and Young, had given the 
fraternity a degree of consolidation never attained before ; and laid the foundation for 
its subsequent advancement. She now gave over her charge to the equally enthusiastic 
and energetic chapter, Tennessee Omega. A peculiarity in the life of Tennessee Omega 
that had an effect upon her work as Grand Chapter, was that the long vacation of the 
University of the South occurred in mid-winter, from the 15th of December to the 13th 
of March. The Grand Chapter was, therefore, disbanded in the very midst of the 
scholastic year. Her work was left in the hands of the several officers during the in¬ 
terim. This probably had a great deal to do with the change in system of government 
effected later on. On the recommendation of the delegates of Tennessee Omega, the 
convention chose W. A. Guerry as E. G. A., and I. G. Glass, as E. G. T. The public 
literary exercises of this convention vrere an address by Gen. E. Kirby Smith, Tenn. 
Omega, an oration by C. Z. McCord, Tenn. Lambda, and an essay by A. J. Smith, Ga. 
Epsilon. 

Athens, Georgia, was chosen as the seat of the next convention. It was in session 
July 7, 8, 9 and 10,1884, in the Phi Kappa Hall. Delegates were present from Georgia 
Beta, Georgia Delta, Pennsylvania Delta, Georgia Epsilon, Kentucky Chi, Alabama 
Iota, Kentucky Kappa, North Carolina Theta, Tennessee Omega, Georgia Alpha Alum¬ 
nus, Georgia Omega Alumnus, Georgia Sigma Alumnus and Alabama Iota Alum¬ 
nus. T. S. Mell, Ga. Beta, was chosen president; R. H. Snively, Ky. Chi, vice 
president, and W. M. Kavanaugh, Ky. Chi, Henry Freeman, Ga. Beta, and R. 
S. Patillo, Ga. Epsilon, secretaries. Two interesting things were done by the con¬ 
vention—the chapter nomenclature was improved by prefixing the State name to

the chapter letter, and the Fourth General Catalogue was given into the hands of 
Georgia Beta for compilation. In the literary contest the essayist’s medal was awarded 
to Samuel Scott, N. C. Theta, and the orator ’s medal to J. H. Johnson, Ga. Beta. This 
contest was public; and waspreceeded by W. A. Guerry, E. G. A., with a masterly discus¬ 
sion of “ Classical Studies in the College Curriculum.” Among the pleasant incidents 
of this convention were the refreshments served in the Phi Kappa Library by the ladies 
of Athens, and the greetings telegraphed from Sigma Nu in convention at Nashville, 
Tenn. The Record was made a quarterly, with P. H. Bell, Atlanta, Ga., as 
editor. Tennessee Omega was unanimously re-elected Grand Chapter, with W. A. 
Guerry, as E. G. A., and J. G. Glass as E. G. T. Bro. Guerry, however, graduated in 
August, and was succeeded as E. G. A., by Jas. G. Glass ; Bro. Glass at the same time 
being succeeded as E. G. T., by S. B. McGlohon. 

Five new chapters were founded during the year ’84, besides Alabama Alumnus lota , 
which was organized at Eufaula, by Will F. Jones, Ga. Delta. The first was Florida 
Upsilon , established February 11th, by Milton Bryan, Ga. Epsilon, at the University of 
Florida, Talahassee. Early in the year, the second, a sub rosa organization was estab¬ 
lished at Emory and Henry College, Emory ,Ya., by A. J. Smith, Ga. Epsilon. The Grand 
Chapter was thoroughly opposed to the establishment of sub rosa chapters, and although 
it had been circumvented the last year in the establishment of South Carolina Lambda, 
it refused to recognize this act as a precedent: and would not grant a charter to the Vir¬ 
ginia organization. The convention, however, believing that restrictions at Emory and 
Henry would soon be removed, authorized the establishment of Virginia Pi. Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon had been heretofore unrepresented in the west, unless Texas be considered a 
western State : but in June of this year, Missouri Alpha was placed in the University 
of Missouri at Columbia, by J. C. Preston of the Grand Chapter. On the 15th of Octo¬ 
ber, [R. A. Wilbur, S. C. Lambda, founded Virginia Tau at Richmond College, Rich¬ 
mond, Va., and on the 29th of November, South Carolina Mu , at Erskine College, Due 
West, S. C., was established by W. D. Douglass, S. C. Delta. 

With the academic year 1883-4, Marvin College, Waxahachie, Texas, was closed with¬ 
out hope of ever again being opened. Texas Rho, strong and vigorous, was not how¬ 
ever to go down with this institution, for the next fall its charter was carried to the 
new University of Texas, at Austin, by T. C. Barrett, of the Grand Chapter. An inter¬ 
esting episode of the year, showing the enthusiasm permeating “Sigdom” at that time, 
was the determined and successful effort made by Georgia Beta to rescue Georgia Psi. 
Through a peculiar concatenation of circumstances, Psi was brought to the verge of 
destruction, and her charter was sent in. Beta gained possession of the charter, and five 
of her members left Athens resolved to remain in Macon until “ old Psi ” should be her¬ 
self again. There was, however, one chapter missing at the end of the year. Although 
the Grand Chapter had recommended the withdrawal of the charter of Pennsylvania 
Delta, the convention had resolved to continue the chapter, but before the close of the 
year it had fallen into a slumber that was to last nine long years. 

The year 1885 also witnessed the death of a chapter. The University of Florida, 
opened with such a show of prosperity, did not receive an adequate support from the 
people of the State, and in anticipation of its demise the charter of Florida Upsilon was 
returned by its faithful members on the 2d of March, 1885. This misfortune was no 
fault of the brothers, and was a cloud on an otherwise sun-lit sky. There is nothing 
that so much rejoices the fraternity as the re-establishment of an ante-bellum chapter. 
An opportunity for such an event occurred when the University of North Carolina re¬ 
pealed its anti-fraternitv laws. The ground had already been worked and the seed sown, 
and immediately R. D. Ross and J. R. Oeland were dispatched by North Carolina Theta

to reap the har\ est. Thus North Carolina Xi came again into being on the 21st of Febru¬ 
ary, 1885, twenty-nine years after its first establishment. Eleven days previous to this 
time a new chapter was born in Kentucky, KentucTcey Epsilon , at South Kentucky Col¬ 
lege, Hopkinsville. The men were initiated by W. O. Cutliff, Tenn. Zeta. March 18th, 
1885, was a momentous day for Sigma Alpha Epsilon. On that day, through R. I. Owen, 
Ky. Chi, came a petition from certain students of Mt. Union College, at Alliance, Ohio, 
asking to be organized into a chapter under the purple and gold. The petitioners, 
eleven in number, had formerly constituted a chapter of Delta Tau Delta, hut had sev¬ 
ered all connection with that fraternity, and the Grand Chapter, after careful investiga¬ 
tion, authorized Bro. Owen to initiate them. Thus Ohio Sigma came into the fraternity, 
and the flood gates were opened for Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s northern extension. The 
third new active chapter of the year, South Carolina Gamma , was organized at Wofford 
College, Spartanburg, South Carolina, in October, by J. C. Jefferis, who had been initi¬ 
ated at Tennessee Nu. The charter was however immediately recalled for some ir¬ 
regularity on the part of Jefferis, and the chapter was afterward re-organized by John G. 
Capers, S. C. Lambda. On the 24th of the same month, Kentucky Alumnus Chi was or¬ 
ganized by I. C. South, Ky. Chi, and several alumni residents in Louisville, Ky. 

The convention of ’85 was the most important ever held, and marked new era in the 
history of the fraternity. It was in session October 20th, 21st and 22d, at Nashville, 
Tennessee, and occupied the Tennessee Supreme Court Room. C. Z. McCord, Omega 
Alumnus, was chosen president, but was unable to attend, and E. G. Seebels, S. C. Delta, 
was elected to fill the position. The vice president was J. D. Mell, Ga. Beta; and the 
secretaries, W. E. Wooten, Ga. Beta, and C. G. Mercer, Ga. Epsilon. The General His¬ 
torian, W. B. Walker, Ga. Beta and Omega Alumnus, having resigned, W. E. Wooten, 
Ga. Beta, was elected to fill the vacancy. The Record was placed in the hands of W. 
W. Osborne and Davis Freeman, both alumni of Ga. Beta, and residents of Savannah— 
Bro. Freeman to be editor-in-chief, and Bro. Osborne, business manager. 

The establishment of Ohio Sigma at Mt. Union, had re-aroused the agitation of the 
old question of northern extension, and the delegates came to this convention with em¬ 
phatic instructions on the question. 

On Thursday morning, a resolution was offered by J. D. Mell, and seconded by W. 
L. Clay, both of Georgia Beta, “to limit the workings of the fraternity to the southern 
and western States.” The vote was taken by chapters, and only three chapters were 
found willing to support the resolution—Georgia Beta, Texas Rho and Georgia Epsilon. 
Thus the practically unanimous voice of the fraternity was raised in favor of northern 
extension. The reasons animating the three dissenting chapters were based entirely on 
expediency. They may be best understood from an editorial in the Record of June, 
1884 : “ We believe that any effectual efforts for northern extension would require the 
exercise of forces that could be more profitably expended. The older institutions of 
learning in the north cannot be creditably entered without well-considered and well- 
ordered action, attended with the outlay of much time and money, and since visiting 
committees and other such auxiliary means for establishing kephs, and the employment 
of those means with sufficient force for success is out of our power unless at the sacrifice 
of dearer interests, we maintain the inexpediency of adopting any practical measures 
at this time for the purpose of extending north. ’’ This was not an idle objection, but the 
fraternity very wisely considered that it had already been too long cheated out of favor¬ 
able opportunities for successful extension, and refused to be any longer bound by a 
stay-at-home policy. 

Efforts at northern extension had been made during the whole history of the frater¬ 
nity. As early as ’58, Tennessee Nu was contemplating the placing of a chapter in 


XXX 


SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. 


some northern institution, but was discouraged by Mother Mu. The only thing known 
of the affair is a record in the minutes of Mother Mu, that on January 9, 1858—“ The 
corresponding secretary was instructed to write to the Nashville chapter giving them our 
reasons for retaining our society in the southern states.’’ What those reasons were, we 
can only surmise. In 1870, the sentiment of the fraternity was decidedly against con¬ 
quering the north. The convention held that year at Memphis, Tennessee, adopted a 
resolution introduced by Virginia Sigma :—“ No chapter shall be established north of 
Mason and Dixon’s line and north ot California and Kansas.” In the next ten years, 
however, opinions had largely changed, and the Atlanta convention of ’81 actually 
passed a resolution offered by O. E. Mitchell, Ga. Beta, “ that all chapters in this fra¬ 
ternity be urgently requested to abolish the old custom of confining this fraternity ex¬ 
clusively to southern states, and that they be urged to press on the work knowing no 
south, no north, no east, no west.” Nothing was done to embody these words in deeds 
until 1883, when Kentucky Chi seized a favorable opportunity to organize Pennsylva¬ 
nia Delta at Gettysburg—a peculiarly unfortunate location for the first northern chapter. 

The entrance of that live and pushing chapter, Ohio Sigma (in ’85), was, however, the 
initiation of that active policy which has made Sigma Alpha Epsilon really a national 
fraternity with fifty-one active and now well organized chapters, twenty-two of which 
are in northern territory. 

The great work of this convention (of ’85), and one which makes it memorable in the 
annals of the fraternity, was the thorough remodeling of the system of government. This 
important matter had been agitating the fraternity, been debated in its annual conven¬ 
tions and discussed in its publications ever since the ‘‘Starnes Memorial ” was sent to 
the convention at Augusta in ’78. 

As the E. G. A., Jas. G. Glass, said in his report, “ The G. C. system is undoubtedly 
best for a fraternity of few chapters, and comparatively small demands upon the time 
and attention of her officers for a proper discharge of their duties ; but when a frater¬ 
nity has increased to the proportions to which S. A. E. has, the Grand Chapter plan 
becomes no longer practicable or desirable. The varied duties and the constant and 
unwearied attention which the management and supervision of thirty-five active chap¬ 
ters spread over a section of country extending from Missouri to Texas, from Florida 
to Ohio, entails upon the officers of the G. C. more work than they can perform as college 
students. To do the work of the G. C., as the fraternity now stands, would require the 
entire time and undivided attention of the officers. Whatever may be the zeal and 
willingness of any chapter in the cause of S. A. E., it is not right and just to saddle a 
number of young men who have been sent away from home by their parents to receive 
an education, with the management of a large and growing fraternity. We, therefore, 
believe that even could a chapter be found ready and willing to undertake the work, it 
would be wrong to allow her to assume so great responsibility. More than that, since the 
proper performance of the duties of a G. C. requires so much of the time and atfention 
of the members, no chapter will or can, in the very nature of the case, do its full duty. 
We are not peculiar in this necessity for a radical change of government. It has been 
the history of all fraternities, and with few exceptions, they have all been forced by the 
exigencies of their growth and development to abandon the G. G. plan. Noticeable 
among these are Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Delta Theta, Psi Upsilon and Delta Kappa 
Epsilon. We, of the G. C., do not hesitate to say that the work has passed beyond our 
control, and we do not believe another chapter can be found to do the work required.” 
The G. C. refused positively to again undertake the labor of directing the fraternities’ 
affairs, and it was evident that some change must be made. There were three plans 
proposed as substitutes for the G. C. system. 


FRATERNITY HISTORY. 


XXXI 


The system recommended by the G. C. was that known as the one-man system. This 
is the system in vogue in most of the fraternities at present. By it all the duties and 
powers of the correspondent, the treasurer and the executive, are centered in a single 
individual to whom all questions can be referred and from whom all information can 
be obtained. 

The plan proposed by the committee on system of government was very nearly iden¬ 
tical with that recommended by the G. C. To both these plans there was considerable 
opposition, many being not in favor of vesting so much authority in one man, and a sub¬ 
stitute was offered by A. J. Smith. Bro. Smith’s plan contemplated a Supreme Grand 
Chapter, under which was to be a Sub-Grand Chapter for every six chapters. 

The system of government finally adopted, was that proposed by the committee. It 
may be best understood from the report of the committee, made by Chairman S. B. Mc- 
Glohon. 

I. j Resolved, That the convention elect a Supreme Council consisting of six members, 
the chairman of such committee to be the official head of the fraternity, and secretary 
and treasurer ; and that all the members of this council reside in the same city. 

II. Resolved , That the fraternity be divided into provinces of from four to eight chap¬ 
ters each, said division to be made by the supreme council, and that there be a Grand 
Chapter over each province, to be appointed by the supreme council. 

III. Resolved , That these Grand Chapters have jurisdiction over the chapters in their 
province to the same extent previously granted the G. C. over the fraternity at large. 
Each Grand Chapter shall report officially to the supreme council monthly, as to the 
condition of the chapters in its jurisdiction. 

IV. Resolved , That each chapter of the fraternity be required to correspond monthly 
with ever other chapter. 

V. Resolved , That the right of appeal be from the Grand Chapter to the Supreme 
council, and from the Supreme Council to the General Convention—such an appeal 
being granted to each chapter. 

YI. Resolved , That the chairman of the Supreme Council be paid a salary of- 

yearly. 

These resolutions were signed by the committee, J. G. Glass, Tenn. Omega ; E. C. 
Seibels, S. C. Delta ; S. B. McGlohan, Tenn. Omega ; and B. T. Elmore, Tenn. Omega. 

This system has since been considerably modified ; but remains in general outline the 
law of the fraternity. The title given to the chairman of the supreme council is Emi¬ 
nent Supreme Archon. The office was offered to W. H. Fleming, Ga. Beta and Omega 
Alumnus; but he was unable to accept the position; T. S. Mell, Ga. Beta, was then unani¬ 
mously elected the first E. S. A. of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and was given power to choose 
the remaining members of the supreme council. Bro. Mell selected the following resi¬ 
dents of Athens, Ga. to constitute the first Supreme Council: J. A. Barnes, J. A. Cars¬ 
well, W. L. Clay, John D. Mell, and W. E. Wooten, all of Ga. Beta. The new system 
of government came into effect November 15, 1885. Tennessee Omega then resigned 
the reigns of authority after two years of faithful and arduous labor in behalf of the 
fraternity. During that time, the chapter roll had been increased by the permanent 
addition of six new chapters and the revival of two old ones. 

The oratorical contest at the convention of ’85 was very close and interesting. There 
were eight contestant. The medal was awarded to H. C. Lassing, Ky. Kappa. 

The convention of ’86, assembled at Atlanta, in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, and was in 
session August 24th, 25th and 26th. Seventeen chapters were represented. The officers 
of the convention were : president, J. D. Pope, Ga. Beta ; 1st vice president, S. J. 
Foster, Tenn. Zeta ; 2d vice president, S. H. Dent, Jr., Ala. Iota ; secretaries. R. D.

SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. 


Ross, N. C. Theta, N. L. Hutchins, Ga. Beta, and R. G. Brice, S. C. Mu ; and sergeant- 
at-arms, John W. Radney, S. C. Mu. T. S. Mell was re-elected E. S. A., by acclamation, 
and the following members of Ga. Beta, resident at Athens, were elected to the Supreme 
Council : B. H. Thompson, J. H. Blount, Jr., W. L. Moore, J. A. Barnes and J. H. 
Walker. Bros. Blount, Thompson and Walker, leaving Athens in June, their places 
in the Supreme Council were given to T. M. Cunningham, Geo. A. Mercer and I. C. 
Mell, A. J. Smith, Ga. Epsilon, was made editor-in-chief and business manager of 
the Record , with power to select his own associates. The Record was to be issued by 
him monthly. The material for the fourth catalogue had now been compiled by Ga. 
Beta, and was accepted by the convention. It was left in the hands of the E. S. A. for 
publication ; and he gave the work over to A. J. Smith, Ga. Epsilon. At the instance 
of J. H. Alexander, Ga. Beta, the convention issued a call for a constitutional conven¬ 
tion to meet just before the regular annual convention of ’87. In the undergraduate 
literary contest, the orator’s medal was awarded to W. E. Wooten, Ga. Beta, and the 
essayist’s medal to J. H. Blount, Jr., Ga. Beta. 

One new chapter was founded during the year ’86, Louisiana Zeta, at Thatcher In¬ 
stitute, Shriveport, La., on the 9th of September, byT. C. Barrett, Tenn. Omega. The 
crowning event of the year, however, was the revival of Mother Mu, at Tuscaloosa. 
The law’s against fraternities had at last been repealed, and Alabama Iota at once took 
successful measures for the consummation of this much desired event. 

On the 19th of November, 1886, application for a charter was received from a local 
fraternity at Adrian College, Michigan. The application having been thoroughly ex¬ 
amined and approved by Ohio Sigma, a charter was granted ; and J. H. Focht, Ohio 
Sigma, organized Michigan Alpha , January 12, 1887. Ohio Sigma had the pleasure of 
establishing another chapter this year, Pennsylvania Omega , at Allegheny College, 
Meadville, Pa. Pennsylvania Omega was, like Michigan Alpha, originally a local 
organization. Its application was received in December, 1886. The charter was granted 
March 1, 1887, and the chapter organized on the 5th, by the indefatigable Bro. Focht. 
Two other charters were granted* on March 1st, one for the revival of Texas Theta of 
the defunct Baylor University, at Buffalo Gap College, which was, however, almost 
immediately withdrawn; the other lor the establishment of Mississippi Theta , at the Missis¬ 
sippi Agricultural College, Starkville. Mississippi Theta was organized sub rosa on the 
12th of the same month. On the 12th of October, the short-lived Texas Psi was established 
at the Southwestern University, Georgetown, Tex., which had just repealed its anti¬ 
fraternity, laws. During the year ’87, two alumni chapters were organized, Alabama 
Mu Alumnus , at Montgomery, Ala., and Ohio Alpha Alumnus, at Alliance, Ohio ; but 
during the same time three deaths occurred among the chapters, Kentucky Epsilon, 
Virginia Tau, and Kentucky Chi. Kentucky Chi, that old bulwark of the fraternity 
closed her career, not because of any lack of vitality, but because of the demise of the 
Kentucky Military Institute. During the year, the Grand Chapter of Province D, 
was changed from Kentucky Kappa to Ohio Sigma. 

The special constitutional convention called by the last general convention, assembled 
at Columbia, S. C., December 27th and 28th, in the South Carolina Senate Chamber. 
The officers were : President, P. A. Rush, Miss. Gamma ; vice president, Maxey L. 
John, N. C. Xi ; secretary, I. L. Withers, S. C. Delta, and sergeant-at-arms, W. H. 
Baker, N. C. Theta. 

The reasons for the calling of this convention are given in the resolutions adopted by 
the general convention of ’86—“ The present constitution of the fraternity is not a con¬ 
stant whole, but a patch work of legislation made up during successive years of growth : 
and is inadequate for the present condition of the fraternity. It is too vague in defining

XXXI11 


powers and duties, too diffuse in that it is made to subserve the purposes both of a con¬ 
stitution and a code of laws , and it too poorly shows the legislative history of the frater¬ 
nity.” The work of the convention was clearly outlined by these resolutions. It was 
to analyze the old constitution and create a new constitution and a code of laws, with 
these limitations. First. The preservation intact, and without alteration, of the exist¬ 
ing preamble of the constitution, of the names, signs, grips and passwords of the fra¬ 
ternity, and of the original high standard of membership, including the obligations to 
be assumed by members. Second. The institution of a system of government following 
as closely as possible the general outline incorporated in the McGlohon resolutions of 
’85, and adopted as amendments to the constitution, but clearly defining and separat¬ 
ing the legislative, judicial, and executive department of government so far as possible 
under the conditions necessarily resting upon a fraternity. Third. The elimination, as 
far as possible, from the constitution of all matters of detail which are properly subjects 
of more frequent legislation than constitutional provisions proper. William W. Elwang, 
Tenn. Zeta, having in possession a constitution drawn up by South Carolina Delta, he 
with W. A. Guerry, Tenn. Omega, T. S. Mell, Ga. Beta, and Maxey L. John, N. C. Xi, 
was appointed on a committee to draft a tentative constitution. In the consideration 
of the report of this committee, the convention regularly resolved itself into a committee 
of the whole, and after two days of faithful work, evolved the constitution and code 
of laws which are in effect at the present day. The special convention then adjourned, 
leaving its work to be ratified by the general convention which sat in the same place 
immediately afterwards, December 29th and 30th. 

The officers of the general convention were : president, J. D. Mell, Ga. Beta ; 1st vice 
president, J. G. Glass, Tenn. Omega and Beta Alumnus; second vice president, W. H. 
Thomas, S. C. Delta and Lambda Alumnus; secretary, I. L. Withers, S. C. Delta; assis¬ 
tant secretary, W. W. Elwang, Tenn. Zeta; sergeant-at-arms, P. A. Rush, Miss. 
Gamma; and assistant sergeant-at-arms, W. M. Bunting, Tenn. Zeta. T. S. Mell was 
again re-elected E. S. A. The Record was placed in the hands of John D. Capers, S. C. 
Lambda, and he was given the privilege of selecting four assistants. The literary feature 
of the occasion was a very entertaining and instructive address by Hon. E. B. Murray, 
S. C. Phi, ou “ Some of the Causes and Some of the Good Results of the Late War.” In 
the contest, the essayist’s medal was awarded to W. A. Guerry, Tenn. Omega, 
and the orators medal to P. C. West. Province B., the alumni of South Carolina and 
the fair friends of Sigma Alpha Epsilon in Columbia entertained the convention hand¬ 
somely—in true South Carolina style. The banquet, held on the evening of the 29th 
was a grand success, both culinarily and intellectually, and the poem—“ The Blue and 
the Gray”—read on that occasion by Bro. J. H. Focht, O. Sigma, was published in the 
Record. The ball given at the Columbia hotel was worthy of the ladies of South Caro¬ 
lina, and those Sigs who did not dance were more than content “to hang upon the wall.” 

At the convention which assembled at Nashville, Tenn., December 26th and 27th, 
twenty-four chapters were represented. The sessions were held in the hall of the 
Knights of Pythias, and the officers were : president, John G. Capers, S. C. Lambda and 
Psi Alumnus; first vice president, F. H. Weston, S. C. Lambda and Lambda Alumnus; sec¬ 
ond vice president, W. S. O’Neal, O. Sigma, and O. Alpha Alumnus; secretary, B. W. Kil¬ 
gore, Miss. Theta ; assistant secretary, C. A. Lannier, Tenn. Lambda ; and sergeant-at- 
arms, C. G. Murchison, Tenn. Lambda. T. S. Mell was again re-elected E. S. A., and 
John G. Capers continued in charge of the Record. North Carolina Xi was appointed 
to prepare and publish a song-book. The banquet was held in Welley’s Caffi, under the 
graceful conduct of B. Frank Chetham, Tenn. Omega, of Nashville. The poet ap-

pointed for this convention, J. H. Focht, O. Sigma, read “ The Purple and Gold” at 
the banquet. 

The year ’88 was one of quiet internal growth—hut one new chapter was estab¬ 
lished, Ohio Delta at the Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, founded on the 5th of 
November by J. H. Focht, O. Sigma. An alumnus chapter, North Carolina Theta 
Alumnus , was organized at Charlotte, N. C., in June ; and requested the pleasure ot en¬ 
tertaining the convention of ’89. Texas Psi this year succumbed after only a year’s 
existence, and Georgia Delta “ went the way of all the earth.” 

The next year, however, notes only additions. Michigan Iota Bela came into being 
at the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, on the 12th day of January, 1889. The 
credit for founding this vigorous chapter belongs to Michigan Alpha. On the 25th day 
of May, Ioica Sigma at Simpson College, Indianola, was founded by E. L. McMillan of 
Ohio Sigma. Iowa Sigma had been a local organization called Phi Lambda Mu. One 
other chapter was established in ’89, Ohio Epsilon at the University of Cincinnati, which 
was founded Nov. 28th by J. H. Focht, O. Sigma. In addition to these three college 
chapters, two alumni chapters were organized : Mississippi Theta Alumnus at Starkville, 
June 18th, and Mississippi Gamma Alumnus , Nov. 2d, at Meridian. 

The general convention of ’89, sat at Charlotte, N. C., December 26tli aud 27th, in 
the Y. M. C. A. Hall. Twenty-two chapters were represented. Phil. A. Kush, Miss. 
Gamma was chosen president; W. F. Shafner, N. C. Xi, 1st vice president; E. G. Mc¬ 
Millan, Ohio Alpha Alumnus, 2d vice president; W. H. Woods, Tenn. Nu. secretary; J. 
H. Sutherlin, Ya. Omicron, assistant secretary ; C. F. Campbell, Tenn. Nu, chaplain ; 
and W. G. Harrison, Ala. Alpha Mu, sergeant-at-arms. The Record was again given in 
charge of J. G. Capers; and T. S. Mell was re-elected E. S. A. The social events were 
very enjoyable, and were thoroughly enjoyed, as may be seen from a resolution passed, 
“that never in the history of the fraternity and their conventions, has it been their 
pleasure to enjoy more hospitality, friendship and attention, than at the hands of North 
Carolina Theta, North Carolina Theta Alumnus and North Carolina Xi. The German, 
the ball, the banquet, were occasions of hearty good cheer; and the spirit of the boys 
of Theta, and the grace and beauty of the girls of North Carolina abide among the 
sweet flowers of memory.” 

In 1890, in accordance with a resolution passed at Nashville, in ’88, the general con¬ 
vention for the first time came north. The delegates were the guests of Ohio Epsilon, 
at Cincinnati. The sessions of the convention were held in the Gibson House, Decem¬ 
ber 29th, 30th and 31st, under the presidency of E. D. McDugall, Tenn. Zeta. P. T. 
Gadsden, Tenn. Omega, was 1st vice president ; H. 'H. Cowan, Mich. Alpha, 2d vice 
president; J. P. Morley, Iowa Sigma, secretary ; George Freeman, Ga. Phi, and T. M. 
Patterson, Ala. Iota, assistant secretaries ; G. H. Connelson, N. C. Theta, chaplain; and 
G. F. Campbell, Ky. Epsilon, sergeant-at-arms. Twenty-five chapters were represented. 
This completed the fifth year of T. S. Mell’s service as E. S. A., and he found himself 
unable to again undertake the work. Bro. Mell was the first of the E. S. A’s under 
the new system of government, and much of its efficiency must be attributed to his 
wisdom and watchfulness. At the convention of ’85, Tennessee Omega, the last of the 
Grand Chapters, had turned over to his care twenty-four active chapters. Of these, 
seven were now inactive. But during the five years of his administration, he had signed 
charters for the establishment of seventeen new chapters, thirteen of which were now 
active and prosperous. He therefore transferred to his successor the care of thirty 
strong chapters. On the resignation of Bro. Mell, John G. Capers, S. C. Lambda, who 
had for three years edited the Record , was elected E. S. A.; and H. H. Cowan, Mich. 
Alpha, was placed in charge of the Record. The constitution was so amended as to re-

quire the representation of each province on the Supreme Council. Supreme 
councilmen were elected from Prov. A., S. H. Dent, Jr., resident in Eufaula, Ala.; 
Prov. B., B. H. Harvin, resident in Columbia, S. C.; Prov. C., R. P. Mahon, resident 
in Jackson, Tenn.; Prov. D., F. L. Taft, resident in Cincinnati. Michigan Iota Beta 
was requested to prepare a fraternity whistle, and the song-book committee to select a 
national ode. The committee on catalogue reported a plan for the publication of the 
fifth catalogue, and a yell was adopted. During the year the E. S. A. and supreme 
council had created considerable dissatisfaction in some quarters by their refusal to 
grant charters for the establishment of chapters in certain schools that were claimed to 
be of excellent standing ; a new Kentucky Military Institute, Renssalaer Institute of 
Technology, Mid. Ga. A. and M. College, Baldwin College, Kan., and Case School of 
Applied Science. The E. S. A., however, demonstrated to the convention both the con¬ 
stitutionality and the wisdom of the refusal. A banquet was given the convention by 
Ohio Epsilon and Province D. Chas. A. Rubenstein, Ohio Epsilon, was toast-master, 
and H. C. Berger read the convention poem, “ Dear S. A. E.” 

During the year 1890, the charter of Louisiana Zeta at Thatcher Institute was recalled 
because of want of progress in that institution. There were, however, two new chapters 
established. Georgia Phi , at the Georgia Institute of Technology, was founded March 
8, by B. C. Collier, Ga. Beta, and G. W. Jones, Ga. Psi. The chapter was then called 
Georgia Tau, the chapter letter being changed two years later. Pennsylvania Sigma Phi, 
at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., was organized by H. H. Cowan, and S. H. Rinehart, 
of Mich. Alpha, on the 11th of October, the task of capturing the ten initiates having 
been previously accomplished by C. N. Ames. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon had now strong possession of the northern, central, and southern 
States, and in the year ’91, began to push out into the east and the far west. On the 
11th of April, 1891, F. Ed. King and Walter Spence of Mich. Iota Beta initiated some 
students of the University of Colorado at Boulder, and organized Colorado Chi ; and on 
the 22d of the same month a local society at Cornell University, Ithica, New York, 
were organized as New York Alpha by Elmer Higley. Colorado Chi at once took up the 
work of extension ; and on the 18th of the following December, established Colorado 
Zeta at the University of Denver. 

It was an enthusiastic convention that was in session December 29 and 30, 1891, at 
Atlanta, Georgia. Everything was in a prosperous condition, and there was nothing 
for the convention to do except to arrange for the work of the coming year. The ses¬ 
sions were held in the Senate Chamber, and the officers were: President, G. M. 
Harton, Mich. Alpha ; first vice president, J. W. Moore, Tenn. Mu; second vice 
president, H. S. Bunting, Ga. Alpha Alumnus; secretary, Wm. Weston, Jr., S. C. 
Delta ; assistant secretaries, W. G. Timberlake, Tenn. Eta, and E. B. Mell, Ala. 
Alpha Mu ; chaplain, Jos. Clemens, Pa. Sigma Phi ; and sergeant-at-arms, Roger 
W. Davis, Ga. Tau. During the year, there had been much discussion of the ad¬ 
visability of dividing the work of the E. S. A., and giving the control of the finances 
into the hands of a special treasurer. The matter was considered by the convention, 
and the office of Eminent Supreme Treasurer was created. This officer is a member of 
the supreme council, and has the duty of collecting and keeping all moneys of the fra¬ 
ternity, and of disbursing them on orders from the E. S. A. Another important office 
was created by this convention, that of Province Archon. Bro. Capers having expressed 
an unwillingness to resume the duties of E. S. A. under the new law, Bro. J. Washing¬ 
ton Moore, Tenn. Nu, was unanimously elected to the position. “ Bro. Moore is a man 
highly qualified to fill this office, and one of whom the fraternity may justly feel proud. 
As a scholar and orator he has a record unequalled by any man in active fraternity work, 


XXXVI

having won no less than ten medals during his college career.’’ Bro. Capers was unani¬ 
mously elected to fill the new office of E. S. T., and the Record was unanimously placed 
again under the management of H. H. Cowan. Province Archons were elected as fol¬ 
lows : Prov. A., D. J. Castleman, Jr., Greensboro, Ala.; Prov. B., J. D. Bellamy, Jr., 
Wilmington, N. C.; Prov. C., P.C.West, Jr., FortSmith, Ark.; Prov. D., AlbertM. Austin, 
Delaware, Ohio. The Province Archons, with the E. S. A., and E. S. T. constituted the 
supreme council. An initiation is an unusual event at a convention, but such an event 
occurred in the initiation by Ga. Beta of W. G. Cooper* of the editorial staff of the 
“Atlanta Constitution.” Bro. Cooper was not initiated as an honorary member; he had 
been pledged to Ga. Beta fifteen years before, while a student at the University of Geor¬ 
gia, but had been prevented from joining by the anti-fraternity laws then in force. 

The practice of enrolling honorary members was discontinued by order of this con¬ 
vention, the last honorary member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon being the well known states¬ 
man William McKinley. The initiation of eminent men as honorary members has 
been practiced by nearly every college fraternity, but is now generally discouraged. 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon did not enroll more than four before the war, and they were all 
professors in the institutions at which the chapters were located. Probably the first 
motive for the enrollment of these fratres in facilitate was a desire to assure those in au¬ 
thority that the society was one meriting their confidence. Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s 
honorary members have been an ornament to her in every respect; they have been earn¬ 
estly loyal and often attend the regular meetings of the chapters and the general con¬ 
ventions of the fraternity. This was an agreeable convention. 

“ Atlanta’s hospitality was everywhere apparent, but found its fullest expression at the 
banquet.” “ No labor or expense was spared by the alumni to make the occasion a de¬ 
lightful one.” Over eighty S. A. E’s. were present. “ At each plate lay a beautiful 
button-hole bouquet composed of violets and hyacinths, and an attached card bearing 
this inscription : ‘Many good wishes for the S. A. E’s from Mrs. Louie M. Gordon.’ ” 
Mrs. Gordon is the widow of Bro. Walter Gordon, Ga. Beta, who was called to rest, Oc¬ 
tober 16, 1886. Thus she kindly remembered the fraternity her husband loved. 
Hooper Alexander was the toast-master. The delegates carried away with them the 
kindliest memories of Atlanta, and among the rest the South Carolina Club will not be 
forgotten. 

On the 10th day of December, 1892, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity was incor¬ 
porated under the laws of Tennessee, in accordance with a resolution passed at the last 
convention. The incorporators were J. Washington Moore, E. C. Stahlman, E. L. Mc- 
Neilly, Robert Yauglm and Douglas Anderson. By the charter then obtained, Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon was constituted a body politic with authority to organize and operate 
chapters or branch councils in the various colleges and universities of Tennessee, and of 
all the states of the United States, and of the Republic of Mexico, and of the Dominion 
of Canada, for the purpose of promoting social intercourse, and mental and moral excel¬ 
lence among college and university students. The general powers of the corporation as 
stated in the charter are : 

First. To sue and be sued by the corporate name. 

Second. To have and use a common seal which it may alter at pleasure, and if there 
be no common seal, then the signing of the name of the corporation by the duly author¬ 
ized officer shall be legal and binding. 

Third. To purchase and hold or receive by gift, in addition to the personal property 
owned by the said corporation, real estate necessary for the transaction of the corpora¬ 
tion’s business ; and also to purchase or accept any real estate in payment or part pay¬ 
ment of any debt to the corporation, and to sell realty for corporate purposes. 


FRATERNITY HISTORY.

Fourth. To establish by-laws and make all rules and regulations not inconsistant 
with the laws and constitution deemed expedient for the management of the corpora¬ 
tion’s affairs. 

Fifth. To appoint such subordinate officers and agents in addition to the president, 
secretary and treasurer, as the business of the corporation may require. 

Sixth. To designate the names of the officers and to fix the compensation for their 
services. 

Seventh. To build and own chapter houses, halls or lodges in any town, city or county 
where a chapter or branch council of the corporation may be located. 

* * * * a failure to elect officers at the proper time does not dissolve the corpo¬ 
ration, hut those in office hold until the election or appointment and qualification of 
their successors. The term of all officers may be fixed by the by-laws of the corpora¬ 
tion, the same, however, not to exceed 3 years. 

* * * * rpk e ga ^ g ^ £ Fraternity shall meet in general convention once in 
every 3 years, the notice of which shall be given to all chapters or branch councils. 

In such general convention, or in any matter to be determined by vote, each chapter 
or branch council shall be entitled to only one vote. 

* * * * ipk e g enera i welfare of society, not individual profit, is the object for 
which this charter is granted, and hence the members are not stock-holders in the legal 
sense of the term, and no dividends or profits shall be divided among them. The prop- 
erty, personal or real, which may he held, owned or used by the chapter or branch 
council, shall revert to the fraternity upon the dissolution or expulsion of such chapter. 

Expulsion shall be the only remedy for the non-payment of dues hv the members, 
and there shall he no individual liability against the members for corporate debts ; hut 
the entire corporate property shall he liable for the claim of creditors. 

The term of existence of said corporation is to be fifty years from the date of filing ' 
of this certificate in the office of the Secretary of State, together with such further ex¬ 
tension or extensions as may be permitted by law. This charter is subject to modifi¬ 
cation or amendment. The means, assets, income or other property of the corporation 
shall not be employed directly or indirectly for any other purpose, whatever, than to 
accomplish the legitimate objects of its creation, and a violation of the provision of this 
charter, shall subject the corporation to dissolution at the instance of the State. 

The fact of incorporation has, of course, had no immediately appreciable effect upon 
the fraternity ; but it was a step eminently practical in view of the rapidly approaching 
day when the college fraternity will be called upon to conduct a business of no fnean 
extent, in the management of its ever increasing number of enterprises. The corpor¬ 
ate seal, moreover, gives an air of solidity to the proceedings of the fraternity that is 
very tonic in its influence, and that acts as a valuable conservative element. 

The general convention of 189^assembled in the Confederate Veterans Hall, at 
Chattanooga, Tenn., on the 28th, 29th and &?th of December. There were thirty-nine 
college chapters represented, and a great many alumni were present to cheer their 
younger hrethern. The officers of the convention were : President, William Mack, Cal. 
Alpha ; 1st vice president, A. J. Tuttle, Mich. Iota Beta ; 2d vice president, A. G. 
Blacklock, Tenn. Omega; secretary, Wm. M. Adams, Ala. Mu, and assistant secretary, 

E. V. Badley, Iowa Sigma. The roll of officers of the fraternity was slightly remodeled. 
The E. S. A., the E. S. T., and the editor of the Record were declared to he ex-officio 
members of the Supreme Council, the two remaining members to he chosen from the 
alumni ; and a new office was created, that of Past Eminent Supreme Archon, this officer 
to be a distinguished alumnus, and his duty, to preside over the annual convention. 

As the first Past E. S. A., Hon William L. Wilson, W. C. Eho, was chosen. He accepted 


XXXV111

the post in a graceful letter to the E. S. A. J. Washington Moore, Tenn. Nu, was re¬ 
elected E. S. A.; A. M. Austin, Ohio Delta, was elected E. S. T.; H. H. Cowan, Mich. 
Alpha, was continued as editor of the Record. The Supreme Council was completed by the 
election of H. C. Burger, Ohio Sigma, and W. L. Lowrie, Mich. Alpha, the Province 
Archons no longer being members of that body. The provinces were redistributed, and 
the whole country divided into seven provinces : Province Alpha to contain the New Eng¬ 
land States, with 3fassachusetts Beta Upsilon as Grand Chapter, and C. C. Long, Prov. 
Archon; Province Beta, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Canada, with Pennsyl¬ 
vania Omega as Grand Chapter, and Lewis J. Doolittle, as Prov. Archon; Province Gamma , 
New Jersey, Marylaud, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and 
District of Columbia, with Georgia Beta as Grand Chapter, and Wm. Weston, Jr., as 
Prov. Archon. Province Delta , West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan. Ohio, and 
Wisconsin, with Ohio Sigma asGrandChapter, and Raymond Ratliffe, Province Archon. 
Province Epsilon, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi, with Tennessee Zeta , as 
Grand Chapter, and J. D. Castleman as Prov. Archon ; Province Zeta , Kansas, Nebraska, 
Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Missouri, with Iowa Sigma as Grand 
Chapter, and J. P. Morly, as Prov. Archon ; Province Eta. —The remainder of the U. 
S. A., and also Mexico, with Colorado Chi as Grand Chapter, and Paul M. North as 
Prov. Archon. This convention adopted the flag and whistle and a new yell. As a token 
of fraternal good will, congratulations were wired to the Alpha Tau Omega Congress in 
session at Nashville. A. T. O. replied : “A. T. O. in congress assembled returns greet¬ 
ings and best wishes to Sigma Alpha Epsilon.” Pi Kappa Alpha, at Knoxville, was 
also saluted by telegram, and replied : “Pi Kappa Alpha returns Pan-Hellenic greet¬ 
ing to her sister fraternity. ’ ’ A pleasant occurrance was the greetings exchanged between 
the convention and the Rutgers College Glee Club, which was then on a southern trip. 
The club breakfasted with the convention on the 27th, and favored the delegates with 
choice selections from their repertoire. 

Chattanooga is an ideal convention home. The historic Lookout Mountain which 
towers above the town is the site of the grounds offered the fraternity by Oscar Peoples, 
Tenn. Nu, on which to build a fraternity home. The convention spent half a day vis¬ 
iting the famous battle-ground under conduct of the alumni of Chattanooga. These 
Chattanooga brothers left no stone unturned in their desire to further the pleasure of 
the visiting sigmas. The banquet was a brilliant occasion, and was rendered happily 
historic by the conspicuous absence of wine from the menu. This ommission was not 
by any means the result of neglect, but was an expression of the sentiment of the con¬ 
vention and of the fraternity at large. E. B. Wise, Tenn. Omega, a resident of Chat¬ 
tanooga, had been expected to act as toast-master, but professional duties called him 
away, and W. L. Lowrie, Mich. Alpha, most gracefully filled the position. At the 
banquet a telegram was read ; “ The Kappa Alpha Alumni Association of Atlanta, at 
annual banquet assembled, send greetings to the S. A. E’s, with best wishes for success in 
their deliberations, and a happy and prosperous New Year—Ernest C. Kountz, presi¬ 
dent:” and another from Atlanta; “Detained from banquet by sickness. Regrets; 
love to the assembled sigs, and best wishes for the success of convention’s work—How¬ 
ard Van Epps.” 

The year ’92 was one of great activity. The leaven of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was 
working vigorously in the newly invaded territory of New England and the west. Mas¬ 
sachusetts Beta Upsilon was established April 29th, at Boston University, by H. C. Bur¬ 
ger, O. Sigma, and seven associates. Missouri Beta was established the very next day 
at Washington University, by Missouri Alpha. Pennsylvania Alpha Zeta was founded 
May 13th, by H. H. Cowan, and S. H. Rinehart, both of Mich. Alpha. Ohio Theta was

organized and installed by A. M. Austin assisted by Ohio Epsilon, Ohio Sigma, and 
Ohio Delta, on May 20th. Connecticut Alpha was captured on the 11th of October by 
Louis J. Doolittle and R. C. Matlock, of N. Y. Alpha. Massachusetts Iota Tau was or¬ 
ganized at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, by Massachusetts Beta Upsilon. 

Two alumnus chapters were also organized during the year, Mississippi Beta Alumnus 
at Tapelo, with nine members, and Pennsylvania Alpha Alumnus at Pittsburg, with 
thirteen members. Alumnus chapters were however abolished at the Chattanooga 
convention, and these chapters became alumni associations. 

The work of extension still continued in ’93, steadily and surely. On the 17th of 
March, old Harvard was entered, Massachusetts Gamma being installed by Massachusetts 
Iota Tau with the assistance of Massachusetts Beta Upsilon and Connecticut Alpha. 
On the 10th of May, Pennsylvania Delta , the first northern chapter, was revived at 
Gettysburg, by George Park Singer of Pa. Sigma Phi assisted in the installation by nine 
men from Dickinson. On the 11th of the samejnonth, Indiana Beta was established 
at Purdue, by Indiana Alpha. Nebraska was entered May 26th by the establishment 
of Nebraska Lambda Pi at the University of Nebraska, by Arthur J. Tuttle, Mich. Iota 
Beta. Pennsylvania Zeta , the fifth in the State, was established at Bucknell University, 
Lewisburg, by Pennsylvania Alpha Zeta. 

The history of Sigma Alpha Epsilon may be divided into seven distinct periods. 

I. The ante-bellum period, ’56, ’61, marked by the founding and rapid extension of 
the fraternity in the colleges of the south. 

II. The period of the war, ’61, ’65. During this time the fraternity was almost ex¬ 
tinguished, but one chapter surviving. 

III. The period of re-establishment, ’66, ’67. This was the time when chapters 
sprang up spontaneously, and the order recuperated marvelously. 

IY. The period of conservatism, ’67, ’77. For these ten years the chapter roll re¬ 
mained nearly the same, and the life of the fraternity was a perfect mirror of the con¬ 
dition of the section in which it existed. 

Y. The period of revival, ’77, ’85. During this time its affairs were administered 
by Kentucky Chi and Tennessee Omega, and the fraternity felt and obeyed the im¬ 
pulse of their enthusiasm and energy, many new chapters were founded, and the ma¬ 
chinery of the society was put in thorough working order. The advancement of this 
period must in large measure be attributed to the publication of the Record , which was 
the efficient instrument in the hands of these energetic chapters. 

YI. The period of consolidation and extension, ’85, ’92. This period is doubly 
marked by the adoption of a more efficient system of government, and the active em¬ 
ployment of a policy of northern extension. It was a period of healthy and vigorous 
growth both external and internal. 

VII. The national period, ’92. The fraternity has now reached a stage when it may 
truly be called national ; with chapters dotted in every section of the country, it is an 
“ American College Fraternity.” The year ’93 was marked by the occupation of the 
extremes of the east and the west, and by that new departure in fraternity publications, 
“ The Hustler;” and the year ’94 opens under auspices more than usually favorable. 
But here the historian must lay aside his pen, just when Sigma Alpha Epsilon, having 
already made long strides toward the goal of her ambition, is most rapidly making a 
glorious history. To the future historian will be left the happy task of recording the 
events of these golden days. If the fraternity continues to advance at the present rate 
of promise, or even if she overcomes the difficulties of the future as she has surmounted 
the obstacles of the past, right royally will she wear the purple and old gold. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded in very stormy times, and in a region whose mis- 


xl 


SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. 


fortunes she was compelled to share to the fullest extent. The close of the war found 
her with fourteen dead chapters and only one living. With this long dead roll to begin 
with, the fraternity has made a gallant fight against the ravages of time, and the inroads 
of hostile faculties ; but do what she could, her inactive list now numbers twenty-one. 
For twenty years after peace was restored, the operations of the fraternity were confined 
to the southern states. In the confusion under which that section then suffered, many 
institutions of learning arose with fair prospects of success, only to go down or be de¬ 
graded to a secondary rank. In either case, chapters located in them became extinct. 
In some of the southern schools, stringent anti-fraternity laws have been passed, and 
have caused a wholesale destruction of chapters. Many of the ante-bellum chapters of 
the fraternity have been revived, but others are still inactive because the institutions 
at which they existed have never been reorganized. 

Of our twenty-one inactive chapters, three were killed by the war, Georgia Pi, Vir¬ 
ginia Kappa and Virginia Upsilon ; four have gone down with the institutions at which 
they were located, Florida Upsilon, Kentucky Chi, Tennessee Lambda Omega and 
Texas Theta ; six have been withdrawn Decause the institutions ceased to be collegiate, 
Kentucky Alpha, Louisiana Zeta, Mississippi Zeta, Kentucky Epsilon, Texas Psi and 
Virginia Tan ; five have succumbed before the opposition of hostile faculties, Louisiana 
Epsilon, Alabama Beta Beta, North Carolina Rlio Rho, South Carolina Upsilon and 
South Carolina Lambda. Georgia Delta was the victim of internal dissensions. 

The number of inactive chapters has at times been larger than at present. One cause 
of this has been the spasmodic passage of anti-fraternity laws at many of the southern 
institutions. As soon as such laws were passed, the chapters became inactive ; and im¬ 
mediately on their repeal, the chapters were re-established. Another cause has been 
the severity of the general conventions in executing the death penalty for delinquencies 
of every sort. Although always eager for extension, the fraternity has been determined 
to have no chapter that is not of the best. As the Eminent Grand Archon said at the- 
convention of ’84, “ Sigma Alpha Epsilon cannot afford to have dragging chapters, they 
do more harm than good.” Possessed with this idea, the conventions have sometimes 
been really harsh in the execution of penalties. The committee on State of the order, 
at the convention of ’87, came very near recommending the withdrawal of the charter 
from a chapter that was fully up to the average in nearly every respect, so uncompromis¬ 
ing were they. This suicidal policy has, however, been abandoned of late years, prob¬ 
ably because, in the more efficient organization, the necessity for disciplinary measures 
has become beautifully less. 

In the establishment of new chapters, Sigma Alpha Epsilon has pursued no red tape 
policy. Believing that wherever, in an institution of re-organized collegiate standing 
and of firm establishment, the requisite number of eligible young men can be found, 
there is fit soil for a scion of any fraternity, the Supreme Councils and the general 
conventions have always been prompt and frank in their treatment of applications for 
charters. The result is their justification. Of all the chapters the fraternity has 
placed in institutions of the north and west, where those causes which have afflicted 
the chapters of the south are non-operative, every one is now active and flourishing, 
and of good moral, intellectual and social standing. 

It has often been questioned in the councils of the fraternity—“ How small a college 
should Sigma Alpha Epsilon enter ? ” or “Should we enter the great universities?” 
The answer to both questions has usually been—“ Go in wherever a sufficient number 
of good and intelligent young men can be found in a stable institution.” Possible this 
answer has in some instances lead to what Mr. W. R. Baird calls “reckless extension;” 
but Sigma Alpha Epsilon is abundantly satisfied with the quality of her present chap- 


FRATERNITY HISTORY.

ter-roll. All her chapters are in institutions of the highest academic or technical grade. 
She has chapters in many of the oldest and wealthiest universities, and she does not 
apologize for her entrance into the smaller colleges ; for *“ it is time that allusions to 
our noble series of endowed colleges should cease to be apologetic ; and it is high time 
that the pretentions of the large colleges to superiority in average under-graduate work 
should be sharply repudiated. The principal task of our American colleges is to make 
men. ***** Vast endowments, vast libraries, vast scientific collections, and 
a great number of professors may be very essential parts of the university in the large 
sense, but they are by no means so essential to the success of the college.” 

The number of members that may be enrolled by any chapter is a matter that is at 
the present left entirely to its own judgement. In former days, however, there were 
regulations to some extent limiting the size of the chapter. At the first meeting of our 
founders, March 9. 1856, it was resolved that the number of members in the fraternity 
should not exceed thirteen for ever hundred students in attendence at the college. This 
seems to have been the rule of the fraternity until the Memphis convention of ’70, 
when the following law was passed—“The number of members to which each chapter 
shall be entitled, shall be in the ratio of twenty to the first hundred of students in col¬ 
lege, and thirteen to each additional hundred.” It was further added that “ any kepli 
for any reason whatever transcending this limit, shall forfeit its charter.” It is inter¬ 
esting to note that on one occasion, in the first establishment of South Carolina Gamma, 
this limit was exceeded, and that the charter was immediately withdrawn, and the 
chapter suspended for some time. 

It has heretofore been customary for the chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon to be domi¬ 
ciled in halls either leased or owned. One of the first committees appointed by the 
Mother Chapter was one to secure the lease of a hall. These halls were at first used 
only for assembly purposes, but many of the chapters soon began to fit up apartments 
for every day occupancy. North Carolina Theta early fitted up such a hall at an ex¬ 
pense of several hundred dollars, and Georgia Beta’s rooms seem always to have been 
considered rather as parlors than assembly halls. The first chapter to build a house 
was Tennessee Omega at Sewannee. The key-stone of her pretty stone lodge was laid 
on the 23d of October 1886. Lately the system of chapter-houses, long in vogue in ‘the 
eastern college, is obtaining favor throughout the country ; and Michigan Iota Beta at 
the University of Michigan, Ohio Theta at the Ohio State University, California Alpha 
at Leland Stanford Junior University, Pennsylvania Omega at Allegheny College, and 
Pennsylvania Zeta at Pennsylvania State College already occupy comfortable houses ; 
w hile Tennessee Nu at Vanderbilt, Georgia Beta at the University of Georgia, and 
New York Alpha at Cornell, are on the eve of building ; and a number of other chapters 
are creating “chapter house funds.” 

Michigan Iota Beta’s chapter house was built in ’93 at a cost of $15,000, and Cali" 
fornia Alpha’s was the first erected at Palo Alto. 

Among the more tangible products of a fraternities’ activity are its publications, 
catalogues, song-books and periodicals. 

The first catalogue of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was published in ’59,. at Washing¬ 
ton, D. C., under the direction of J. H. Wright, Washington City Rho, ’59, and 
others of that chapter. The work had been compiled by North Carolina Xi, 
which was then Grand Chapter. The second catalogue was prepared in manuscript, 
by Virginia Omicron. It was ready for press in January, ’68, but was not published 
until 1870. Its contents were: An alphabetical list of members giving the chapter 
and year of graduation of each, and an enrollment by chapters and classes giving the

TOnoi and addresses. There were then seventeen chapters, and the number of mem¬ 
bers catalogued was 425. The book was printed in Baltimore, and contained thirty-eight 
pages. The third catalogue was compiled by Grand Chapter Kentucky Chi, and pub¬ 
lished in ’77. It was a book of sixty pages, cataloging 800 members, in twenty-nine 
chapters. It was gotten up in the same style as the second catalogue, except that it did 
not contain the TOIIOI. 

The fourth catalogue was compiled by Georgia Beta, in ’86, and published in ’87. 
It was a book of two hundred and forty pages, and contained a short history of the 
fraternity written by W. A. Guerry, Tennessee Omega ; a catalogue by chapters and 
classes giving residences and present and past occupations and honors and achieve¬ 
ments of all members so far as could be ascertained ; a residence directory ; a consan¬ 
guinity table ; and lists of conventions, officers, Grand Chapters and alumnus chapters. 
As Mr. Baird says in his work on college fraternities, “ it was a credit to the fraternity. ” 
The number of chapters then on the roll was fifty, and the number of members cata¬ 
logued, eighteen hundred and ninety. The credit for collecting the data contained in 
the fourth catalogue belongs in greatest measure to W. W. Osborne, of Savannah, and 
W. E. Wooten, of Albany. They were the prime movers in the work, and in fact did 
most of it themselves. 

At the Cincinnati convention in 1890, it was resolved that the preparation and publi¬ 
cation of the fifth catalogue “ be placed in the hands of the supreme council, to be dele¬ 
gated by that body to some chapter chosen by itself within six months.” Pennsyl¬ 
vania Sigma Phi at Dickinson College was entrusted with the work, and this book is 
the result of their labor. 

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Record owes its being to the genius of that indefatigable 
fraternity worker Maj. R. H. Wildberger, of Kentucky Chi. Interest in the matter was 
awakened by him at the convention of ’78 ; and at the convention of the following year, 
the publication of a quarterly magazine was authorized by the fraternity. Maj. Wild¬ 
berger was chosen editor, and I. H. Alexander assistant. Having received their ap¬ 
pointment in December ’79, they at once began the preparation of copy for the new 
magazine ; and Volume I., Number 1, appeared in March, 1880. It was neatly gotten 
up and well printed, containing forty pages of reading matter—the minutes of the pro¬ 
ceeding convention, some editorials and notices, and letters from the several chapters. 

The Record supplied a deeply felt want of the fraternity, and received flattering no¬ 
tices from the press. There were then existing but six other fraternity magazines ; if 
we may except the Psi Upsilon Diamond , one volume of which had appeared two years 
previously, but which was not then in publication ; and all of them were yet quite 
young, being in the first or second volume. 

The subscription price of the Record was then, as now, $1.00 per annum. It was 
then, however, wholly supported by subscription; and in consequence, its financial status 
was for a long time far from good. Various plans of publication were tried, but none 
were very successful until the present one was adopted in ’87. 

Bro. Wildberger and Alexander issued two numbers of the Record , and then Bro. 
Alexander resigned, Maj. Wildberger was given five assistants ; and continued as editor 
until the summer of ’82, when stress of business compelled him to resign after having 
issued six numbers. He was succeeded by Maj. J. H. Young, of Kentucky Chi, in both 
the editorship and the presidency of the Grand Chapter. Major Young and his assis¬ 
tants had issued four numbers, ending with number 2 of Vol. Ill, when Tennessee 
Omega was made Grand Chapter and its officers given charge of the Record. In 
transferring the publication from Farmdale to Sewannee, the box containing all the ap¬ 
purtenances and much valuable MSS was lost. In volume three, therefore, there were

but three numbers. Grand Chapter Omega published Vol. III. No. 3, and Yol. IV. No. 
1, the E. G. A., William A. Guerry, acting as editor-in-chief. The work was then dele¬ 
gated by the Grand Chapter to Piromis H. Bell of Alanta. Bro. Bell was confirmed as 
editor-in-chief by the convention of ’84 ; and issued four numbers of superior excellence, 
the last being that of July, 1885, Vol. V, No. 2. Bro. Bell was the first salaried edi¬ 
tor. He was unable after July to devote his time and attention to the work, and 
the convention of ’85 placed it in the hands of two active, able, and zealous young 
alumni residents of Savannah, Ga., Davis Freeman, editor-in-chief, and W. W. Os¬ 
borne, business manager. They agreed to publish it for the advertising receipts, 
alumni subscriptions, and $1.00 for each active member. “ They fulfilled their agree¬ 
ment in admirable style, but found upon trial that they were giving their services gratis , 
with a risk of financial loss.” They published three numbers ending with May ’86, 
Vol. VI. No. 1. The convention held in Atlanta, in ’86, determined that the Record 
should be a monthly. Bro. A. J. Smith of Atlanta was elected editor and pub¬ 
lisher, and agreed to produce a 64-page ; monthly as a private enterprise, procuring 
his own subscribers. Tiie subscription price was placed at $2.00. After seven months 
Bro. Smith found that he was not able to clear expenses in the undertaking ; and No. 7, 
printed in May, was his last. The monthly issued by Bro. Smith was superior in every 
respect, containing very interesting matter, and being of the highest mechanical ex¬ 
cellence. After he gave up the publication, in April, the fraternity was left with the 
prospect of not having a journal until after the next convention, which was to convene 
at Columbia, S. C., in December. To meet the demand for at least one pre-convention 
number, the supreme council requested Georgia Beta to undertake the work. The 
number appeared early in December under the editorship of T. M. Cummings. 

The only weak point in the publication of the S. A. E. Record had been its finances. 
This was remedied by the convention of ’87, which devised the plan now in operation. 
The Record was then again made a quarterly. To meet the expenses of publication a 
magazine fund was created, to be sustained by general assessment, deficits to be met 
by drafts upon the general treasury. The editor-in-chief was given a stated salary and 
also the proceeds of all advertisements and alumni subscriptions. The first editor-in- 
chief under this new system was John G. Capers. He issued from Greenville, South 
Carolina, Vol. VIII and IX, and three numbers of Vol. X, in all eleven numbers, 
averaging sixty-four pages. The Record under his management was an excellent maga¬ 
zine, the peer of any fraternity quarterly. At the convention held in Cincinnati in De¬ 
cember, 1890, Bro. Capers having been elected E. S. A., left the tripod, and H. H. 
Cowan was chosen editor of the Record. Under Bro. Cowan’s direction, the Record has 
taken the front rank in fraternity journalism. It is edited with a great deal of care ; 
and is much larger than at any time previous, the numbers averaging over a hundred 
pages. 

In 1892, Sigma Alpha Epsilon made an innovation in fraternity journalism by the 
introduction of a private quarterly, The Hustler. Sigma Chi had before been accustomed 
to issue a private bulletin of four pages. The Hustler , however, was at its first issue, a 
journal of thirty-two pages, and contained discussions on various matters pertaining to 
the policies of the fraternity, its pages being open to every member. 

The idea of The Hustler seems to have originated in the fertile minds of the Bunting 
brothers. The suggestions of these two earnest workers chimed in exactly with the 
views of the E. S. A., John G. Capers ; and he authorized them to proceed with the 
publication. The first number appeared September 1, and the second, December 1, 
1892, H. S. Bunting, being editor, and Geo. H. Bunting, business manager. The 
fraternity was agreeably surprised by the appearance of this effective magazine, and the 


xliv 


SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. 


convention of ’92, adopted it as the official organ of the supreme council, and author¬ 
ized its publication three times a year by the E. S. A. 

A song-book was first ordered by the convention of 1870. The publication was left 
with Howard Van Epps, who was then general historian of the fraternity, his remunera¬ 
tion to be derived from the sale of the books. The historian has seen no copy of this 
book. Several pamphlet collections of songs are in existence, and a number of instru¬ 
mental pieces dedicated to the fraternity have been published. These are now being 
gathered together and published in a neat book by order of the general convention. 
Colorado Chi has the publication in charge. 

The design for the badge of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was adopted by the first meeting 
in ’56. There has been a report current that the first badges were of blue enamel. 
This is, however, a mistake, for some of the first pins made are still in existence, and 
are lozenge or diamond shaped, of gold, black enameled ; and, in the words of Mr. 
Baird, “bear the device of a lion and the Goddess of Liberty .” Above are the letters, 
“2. A. E.” in gold, and below, on a white background surrounded by a wreath, the 
letters $. A. In fact it is essentially similar to the present badge. The first badge was 
made by a Mr. Rate, and was accepted by the fraternity, March 14, 1857. Mr. Rate 
was the first jeweler of the fraternity. Mr. Wm. D. Briggs, of New York, was 
authorized to do work for the fraternity on June 13, 1857; and his badges were decided to 
be much better than those made by Mr. Rate. Since that time the official jewelers have 
been : Nowlan &Co.. of Richmond, Va., appointed in’68 ; J. F. Luther of New York, 
ajtpointed in ’77 ; J. P. Newman, of New York, appointed in ’84 ; Roehen and Sons, of 
Detroit, appointed in ’89, and Wright, Kay and Sons, Detroit, appointed in ’91. The 
official jewelry of the fraternity now consists of the general badge adopted in ’56, an 
alumnus charm pendant adopted in ’92, and an enameled violet pledge lapel button 
adopted at the same time. Besides these there are various designs in other articles of 
jewelry to suit the wearers fancy. 

The colors of the fraternity are Royal Purple and Old Gold. The original color was 
Royal Purple alone, Old Gold being added in ’83. 

The fraternity flower was adopted by the convention of ’91 ; it is the dainty and 
lovely violet which has been wearing the fraternity colors since the world began. 

The Chattanooga convention of ’92 adopted the Sigma Alpha Epsilon dag. It is of 
the same proportions as the United States flag, with a field in the upper left-hand 
corner of the same size as that in the United States flag. The main body of the flag is 
of royal purple, and the field of old gold. In the field are the letters Phi Alpha in 
purple, and across the center of the flag the letters Sigma Alpha Epsilon in old gold. 
In the lower left-hand corner is a circle of six old gold stars with a large old gold star 
in the center of it.

ALABAMA ALPHA MU. 


Alpha Mu Chapter was established June 15, 1878, by W. H. Felton, 
Jr., and F. H. Greaves of Ga. Psi, to whom the charter for its establish¬ 
ment was granted June 15, 1878. The charter members were M. S. An¬ 
drews, W. M. Blackwelder, David Clopton, D. F. Davenport, J. S. Dow¬ 
dell, S. C. Dowdell, J. B. Duke, M. S. Estes, C. B. McCoy, T. M. Oliver, 
H. G. Perry, J. E. D. Ship, J. C. Street, and R. Y. Street. 

The birth of Alpha Mu is due, in main, to the energetic efforts of 
Bro. J. E. D. Shipp who was a charter member. He worked under 
a great disadvantage and met with many difficulties; nevertheless he 
succeeded in pledging some of the best students in college. Though 
running sub-rosa , the chapter, from the night of its establishment, over¬ 
came all difficulties, and for the brief period of two years its life was 
blessed with happiness and prosperity. 

However in 1880, a sad event happened which proved fatal to its 
future prosperity. The chapter had failed to exercise that conservative 
policy so necessary in the selection of its members; and the result was 
that nearly all its members proved themselves untrue to Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon, and were initiated into another fraternity. In consequence of 
this, the charter was withdrawn, and Alpha Mu was dead to the world for 
more than six years. 

In 1886, when Bros. B. A. Blakey of Alpha Mu and C. I. Mell of Ga. 
Beta entered this institution, they at once went to work to re-establish 
Alpha Mu. This they succeeded in doing in October of that year. On 
the night of October 13,1886, the following men were initiated as charter 
members of the new chapter: W. D. Dunlap, A. St. C. Dunsfan, F. M. 
Fontaine, and H. A. Haralson. 

The standard of membership of the new chapter has been kept high; 
a conservative policy is pursued, though it is not carried to an extreme; 
none but the best students in college have been initiated, and the result 
is that Alpha Mu’s standing is unequaled by any fraternity at the Poly¬ 
technic. The chapter has been accused of being too conservative in the 
selection of new members. But Alpha Mu has ample reasons for being 
conservative; not only does the fate of the old chapter warn it, but the 
new chapter has had occasion to expel one of its members, and if such 
measures as this have often to be taken, the life of any chapter will soon 
become a burden, and death can be the only result.

ALABAMA ALPHA MU. 


At present, four other fraternities have chapters at Auburn, viz: Phi 
Delta Theta, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Nu. Kappa 
Sigma and Delta Kappa Epsilon are represented, though no attempts 
have been made to establish chapters. The order in which the above 
fraternities established their chapters here is as follows: Phi Delta Theta 
and Alpha Tau Omega along with Sigma Alpha Epsilon, in the fall of 
1878; Kappa Alpha in November, 1883, and Sigma Nu in September, 
1890. The older chapters have a large alumni backing; while all 
have an enthusiastic, active membership. None but Kappa Alpha 
own chapter halls, though some of the others have building lots and con¬ 
template building chapter houses in the near future. Alpha Mu will not 
be behind in this important matter. Only about thirty per cent, of the 
annual college attendance become members of fraternities, all of the 
chapters to certain extent following out a conservative policy. This year 
none but the best of friendly rivalry exists among them. 

The year ’92-3, has been the most prosperous in the history of Alpha 
Mu, and her future seems to be equally as bright. As the college con¬ 
tinues its prosperity, and its facilities for the advancement of learning 
and the development of the sciences increase, the youth of Alabama will 
no longer have to leave the state in order to obtain instruction, in the 
languages, sciences and arts. 

Alpha Mu is a strong chapter situated in a growing institution in a. 
growing state.

ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL 

COLLEGE. 


This institution was inaugurated toward the latter part of March, 1872, in accordance 
with the Congressional act of 1862, donating public lands to the several states for the 
purpose of establishing colleges “ Where the leading object shall be, without excluding 
other scientific and classical subjects, and including military tactics, to teach such 
branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanical arts, in order to 
promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pur¬ 
suits and professions of life.” The amount of public land falling to the share of Ala¬ 
bama, realized on sale $253,000, which sum, invested in State bonds, brings the college 
an annual income of $20,280. Later the state made an appropriation for equipment 
of $30,000, which was soon after supplemented by $12,500 more. In 1885, one-third 
of the tax on fertilizers was granted to the college. In 1887, Congress appropriated 
$15,000 annually “ to establish experiment stations in connection with land granted 
colleges,” and again in 1890, passed an act supplementing the endowment of 1862 for 
academic instruction. 

Since its inauguration, the college, under the direction of a wise board and an able 
faculty, has kept steadily in view the main objects of the act calling it into existence; 
and its career, with slight fluctuations, has been one of success and prosperity. 

In its course of instruction, the college gives prominence to the sciences and their 
applications, and especially those that relate to agriculture and the mechanic arts, so 
far as the facilities at its disposal will permit ; and at the same time, the discipline ob¬ 
tained by the study of languages and other sciences is not neglected. 

There are few institutions in the south more adequately equipped for thorough scien¬ 
tific work than the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama. The main build¬ 
ing is an elegant and impressive structure, four stories in height, finished off in pressed 
brick and stone trimmings. 

The new chemical laboratory is a stately building, two stories high, and fitted with 
every facility for assaying and quantitative and qualitative work. 

Langdon Hall contains the auditory in the second story, and the mechanic art labor¬ 
atory on the ground floor. Two spacious brick buildings adjoining, contain the furnace, 
forge and foundry departments. 

The farm consists of 226 acres, and is supplied with select varieties and illustrative 
specimens of stock. 

The courses of study in the college include the physical, and chemical sciences 
with their applications ; agriculture, biology, mechanics, astronomy, mathematics, 
engineering (civil and electrical), drawing, English, French, German and Latin ; 
history, political economy, and mental and moral philosophy. 

There are three degree courses for under-graduates, that leading to the degree of 
Bachelor of Science requiring four years for completion. 

The faculty consists of fourteen full professors with a requisite number of assistants 
in each department.

ALABAMA BETA BETA. 


Alabama Beta Beta was founded in December, 1870, by Prof. Geo. D. 
Bancroft, of the Ga. Beta. Prof. Bancroft wished this chapter to be 
considered as an off-shoot from his own chapter, so it was named Beta 
the second, or Beta Beta. 

The charter members were .J. M. Dill, W. D. Fondille, J. M. Harrell, 
D. G. Jones, P. G. Mosely, B. I. Skinner, A. P. Smith, L. M. Stone and 
T. A. Moore. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the first fraternity to be represented at 
Howard College after the war. Before that time, Phi Gamma Delta had 
had a chapter there. 

For two years Beta Beta was without a rival, but in 72 she was glad 
to welcome the Pi charge of Sigma Chi. About the same time. Beta 
Theta Pi entered the institution. Sigma Nu came after the demise of 
Beta Beta in 79. 

Notwithstanding the entrance of these competitors, Beta Beta, as 
long as she existed, continued to be the honor band of the institution. In 
73, on a literary occasion, four-fifths of the honors fell to Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon. 

The government of Howard College had never been favorable to fra¬ 
ternities, and in 73 came out positively against them. Beta Beta was 
then a vigorous chapter of fourteen men, but yielded to the inevitable 
and returned her charter. However, the chapter continued a lingering 
existence until the commencement in June, 76, when the last of the 
band, the four members of the class of 76, were graduated. 

The opposition of the faculty may be imputed in some measure to the 
fraternities themselves. The feeling between the rival fraternities was 
for a time good, and their competition friendly ; but at length Sigma 
Chi and Beta Theta Pi became embroiled in a dispute which culminated 
in implacable hostility, and kept the school in constant turmoil. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon does not appear to have been in the least con¬ 
cerned in these difficulties; but the trustees, without taking the trouble 
to discriminate, as it seems to us, very unjustly placed all fraternities 
under the ban. 

Thus ended Ala. Beta Beta after having enrolled twenty good men.

HOWARD COLLEGE. 


Howard College was chartered in 1841. The Alabama Baptist State convention in 
that year resolved to establish a college of high order, with a theological department 
attached ; and made provision for raising funds for buildings and endowment. The 
brethren in Marion, Perry county, having offered a building and land, the institution 
was located in that town, and the classical school opened the same year by S. S. Sherman 
and Solon Lindsley. In ’43, the work of endowment had so far progressed as to justify 
the trustees in electing .Reverend J. Hartwell, professor of theology, and S. S. Sherman, 
literary professor. 

On May 10, 1844, the college building was destroyed by fire. However the college 
exercises were continued in the Baptist church and in a dwelling near by. By the 
liberality of the citizens of Marion, a new building was completed in October, 1846, at 
a cost of $13,000. In 1848, the first class was graduated. The college again suffered 
by fire in October, 1854, but the exercises were conducted in the Baptist church as be¬ 
fore. By 1858, two dormitories and the main college building had been built on a more 
eligible plot of ground. The college, at this time, owned scientific apparatus valued at 
$5,000—a good outfit for those days. The entire property, including endowment, in 
1860, was reported as $264,499.80. All this, except the campus and buildings, the war 
swept away. Notwithstanding this loss, the college exercises have continued regularly 
since ’65. 

The advisability had long been discussed of removing the college to some more eligible 
locality, and in ’86, a committee was appointed to determine the question. An offer 
of a hundred and seventy thousand dollars, in land and cash subscriptions, being re¬ 
ceived from capitalists and others interested in building up the town of East Lake, on 
condition that the institution be located at that place, Howard College was removed 
from Marion to East Lake in July, 1887. East Lake is a suburb of Birmingham, and 
is five hundred feet above the city. It has an excellent water supply, and beautiful 
scenery. 

On its removal to East Lake, the college for some time occupied a temporary build¬ 
ing, while its permanent buildings were in course of erection. These edifices are in the 
style known as the “ American Renaisance.” Two large and imposing structures, the 
main building and the dormitory, united by an arcade, form a noble central mass, 
subordinate to which are, on one side, the science hall, with a conspicuous tower, and 
on the other, the dining hall. The faculty of the college proper consists of four pro¬ 
fessors. In addition to these there are two instructors in the grammar school. The 
physical development of the students is sought through military drill, one hour each 
day being devoted to military exercise. 

Since 1865, the college has been successively under the administration of Presidents 
J. L. M. Corry, F. O. Thornton, Samuel Freeman, J. T. Murfee, T. I. Dill and B. F. 
Riley. Being strictly denominational, its patronage is almost entirely Baptist; but its 
removal to the vicinity of Birmingham, has given it new friends, and its prospects are 
very good. The number of alumni, in 1886, was one hundred and ninety-eight. Since 
1881, Greek letter societies have been prohibited. The college was named in honor of 
the English philanthropist, John Howard.

ALABAMA IOTA. 


Alabama Iota was founded by J. E. D. Sliipp of Ala. Alpha Mu, No¬ 
vember 23, 1878. 

Ala. Alpha Mu was then herself but a few months old, but very zealous 
in the cause, and determined to take Alabama for S. A. E. 

The candidates at the Southern University had been pledged by Bro. 
Shipp, and he had several times written to Ky. Chi, the Grand Chapter, 
for permission to procede with the initiation, when he was alarmed by 
the appearance of a certain Mr. Glazebrook, a Protestant Episcopal 
clergyman, who endeavored to lead his little band of twelve men into the 
lines of some other Greek Camp. Bro. Shipp telegraphed to the Grand 
Chapter, but in vain, for that body was in no mood to grant a charter 
hastily. However the Rev. Mr. Glazebrook was unsuccessful, and when 
the tardy permission came, Ala. Iota was instituted with twelve true 
members. Ala. Iota was the first fraternity chapter organized at the 
Southern University. In Dec. ’79, however, a chapter of Sigma Chi was 
established. 

During the session of ’81-2, owing to financial embarrassments, the 
Southern University experienced a sudden decline, its doors were almost 
closed. Nearly all the students left, going to more flourishing institu¬ 
tions, and by the end of the year not a fraternity man could be found. 

The next year, however, the University regained its former position, 
and in the year ’83-4, was so flourishing, that the fraternity thought it 
advisable to re-establish chapter Iota. Prof. Clias. A. Grote of the Uni¬ 
versity faculty, an honorary member of old Iota, wrote to Bro. Alex. R. 
Mitchell of Tenn (Sewanee) Omega, that there were in attendance some 
men who would make capital sigmas , and in less than two weeks Bro 
Mitchell had five fine fellows “spiked.” 

In the meantime, Francis A. Rogers of the old Iota had returned to 
the University, to complete his course, and zealously joined Bro. Mitchell 
in his undertaking. 

So on January 26th, Ala. Iota was revived, under the auspices of Tenn. 
Omega, with two old members and five new ones—just enough to fill the 
offices. Prof. Grote was elected E. A.; F. A. Rogers, E. D. A.; A. L 
Smith, E. R.; L. C. Brenscombs, E. C. ; G. M. Sellers, E. T. ; W. W. 
Moore, E. Ch., and Burton T. Epps, E. W. 

Since this time the Southern University has been very prosperous 

( 16 )

and not only lias Iota flourished, but several other fraternities have en¬ 
tered to keep her company. The fraternities now represented, are 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Delta 
Theta. 

The chapters of Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi, and also the local 
society of Tau Phi are extinct. A chapter of Phi Kappa Epsilon existed 
at the University for a while before the war, but was merged in the 
Clariosophic Literary Society. 

Until recently, the inter-fraternal relations at Greensboro have been 
of the pleasantest. In the present quarrels, however, Sigma Alpha Ep¬ 
silon has no share, except as a deprecating by-stander.

SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY. 


The Southern University is located at Greensborough, Alabama; and was incorporated 
by the Alabama conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in January, 1856. 

On the 11th day of June, 1856, the corner stone was laid, and on the third day of 
October, 1859, the halls of the university were thrown open to students. From that 
time until the present, its doors have remained open, with the exception of the session 
of 1864-65. The first faculty was composed of the following gentlemen : Rev. William 
M. Wightman, D. D. LL. D., professor of Biblical literature, Rev. Edward Wadsworth, 
A. M. D. D., professor of moral philosophy, Oscar F. Casey, A. M., professor of ancient 
languages, N. J. Lupton, A. M., professor of chemistry. Rev. J. A. Rinbett, A. M., pro¬ 
fessor of modern languages and Hebrew, J. A. Gatch, A. M., adjunct professor of mathe¬ 
matics. Rev. C. C. Calloway was financial and endowment agent. It was largely 
through his agency that the university buildings were erected and paid for, and that the 
school began its course of usefulness with an endowment fund of two hundred and forty 
thousand dollars. The university suffered in common with all the South from the late 
civil war, and its endowment was almost a total loss. 

In 1866, Dr. Wightman was elected bishop, and in July of that year, tendered his 
resignation as chancellor. In his place was elected Dr. Allen G. Andrews, A. M., D. 
D., LL. D., as president and professor of moral philosophy. The administration of Dr. 
Andrews was very successful, the enrollment being greater than at any time in the 
history of the university. He organized the school of medicine, which continued three 
sessions and graduated a number of young men to the degree of M. D. His connection 
with the institution ended in July, 1874. In July 1875, Rev. Luther M. Smith, D. D. 
LL. D., was elected president. The labors of Dr. Smith closed with his death, which 
occurred in July, 1879. At the ensuing commencement, Rev. Josiah Lewis was elected 
president. Dr. Lewis retired from the university in December, 1881. 

In 1882, the charter was so amended as to constitute the institution the joint property 
of the Alabama and North Alabama conferences. 

In 1883, Dr. A. J . Andrews was elected president, and since that time the university 
has been most successful. During the year 1883-84, the institution numbered one hun¬ 
dred and six matriculates. In 1890-91 there were 275 matriculates ; in 1891-92, 250, 
while the number for 1892-93 is 235. 

Her alumni association now numbers two hundred and twenty-two members, and in 
its roll may be seen the names of some of Alabama’s most illustrious sons. The build¬ 
ings, grounds, literary societies, libraries, museum, and laboratory, furnish facilities for 
a thorough collegiate and scientific education ; while the business department gives 
thorough instruction for a successful business career. 

Two journals, the Alumni Annual , and Southern University Monthly , are published by 
the alumni and students of the university.

ALABAMA MU. 


Alabama Mu is the Mother Chapter of the Fraternity. She first saw 
the light of her existence on the night of March the 9th, 1856, when 
Noble Leslie DeVotie, John W. Kerr, Wade H. Foster, John B. Rudulph. 
Nathan E. Cockrell, Samuel M. Dennis and Abner E. Patton met for the 
purpose of founding the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. Noble Leslie 
DeVotie called the meeting to order, and a committee was appointed to 
draft a constitution. On the night of the 15th of March, the second 
meeting was held in the schoolroom of George Little, in the city of 
Tuskaloosa, Ala. Upon the adoption of the constitution, submitted by 
the committee appointed at the first meeting, the following officers were 
elected, and stand as the first officers of the Fraternity: John W. Kerr, 
President; John B. ttudulph, Vice President; Noble L. DeVotie, Cor¬ 
responding Secretary; Abner E. Patton, Treasurer; and Samuel M. 
Dennis, Recording Secretary. Thus our cherished Fraternity had its 
beginning. While not alone in its founding, yet the conception of 
the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity seems to have originated in the 
brain of Noble Leslie DeVotie. He, assisted most closely by John W. 
Kerr and John B. Rudolph, guided and directed the little band of 
earnest and devoted co-workers during the tender infancy of the Chapter. 
Their earnest work, steadfastness of purpose, and moral rectitude left a 
lasting impress upon the Fraternity which they originated. At the 
meeting on the 31st of May, a resolution was passed by which Thos. C. 
Cook was considered a member of the Fraternity, on account of his co¬ 
operation with the founders, he having left the University prior to its 
organization. So he too should be considered as one of our founders. 
On January 11th, 1857, the first step was taken towards introducing the 
Fraternity into another institution. Talbott Adams, a student at South 
Carolina College, in a letter to Thos. C. Cook, signified his consent to 
join the order. A. E. Patton, Corresponding Secretary, was authorized 
to act with Mr. Adams by letter. On the 7th of February, a reply was 
read to the Chapter, in which Mr. Adams stated that he would do every¬ 
thing in his power to establish a chapter of the Fraternity at South 
Carolina College, and at the same time sent the pledge of the Fraternity 
signed by himself. In his endeavor, however, he was unsuccessful. On 
the 17th of January, 1857, Thos. C. Cook wrote the Chapter that several 

( 28 )

of liis friends were desirous of starting-a chapter of S. A. E. in the Western 
Military Institute, at Nashville, Tenn. Permission and authority was 
so granted, with J. H. Field as charter member. So Tenn. Nu was 
the first chapter established after the organization of the Fraternity. 
On February 7th, 1857, a letter was read from Jno. W. Kerr, stating 
that, if it were the wish of the Fraternity, he would establish a chapter 
at Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tenn. It was so decided and he 
was authorized to act accordingly. J. M. Fleming applied and ob¬ 
tained permission and authority to establish a chapter at the Univer¬ 
sity of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N. C., on February 7th, 1857. The 
right and authority to establish a chapter was granted on the 4th of 
July to the following students of Union College, Murfreesboro’, Tenn.: 
D. M. Thompson, it. H. Spencer, F. M. Middleton, K. M. Simmons, and 
Wm. I. Westbrook. Thaddeus K. Fornis, of McKinley, Ala., a student 
at William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Va., was granted au¬ 
thority to found a chapter at that college, on December 12th, 1857. 
This was done at the request of N. C. Xi. Thus, by January, 1858, 
five chapters had been started, including Ala. Mu as Grand Chapter. 
Ga. Pi and Va. Omicion were also established during the year 1857. So 
from Ala. Mu, as parent and center, spread other chapters until at the 
beginning of the war in 1861, there were fourteen chapters in existence, 
scattered throughout the Southern States. Most of these were killed 
by the war. In July, 1856, the Trustees of the University of Ala. passed 
a resolution forbidding new students joining secret societies. A com¬ 
mittee was appointed by the Chapter, May the 9th, 1857, for the pur¬ 
pose of conferring with the chapters of other fraternities at the Univer¬ 
sity, in regard to petitioning the Trustees to repeal the law. Nothing, 
however, was accomplished, and, therefore, on the 5th of October, 1857, 
a resolution was passed by the Chapter to elect no more members, in 
consideration of the pledged required of new students not to join any 
of the secret societies. The members continued to meet, however, until 
the 9th of January, 1858, when the last meeting was held, and the 
Chapter adjourned to meet no more. Twenty-one men were initiated by 
the Chapter prior to the war, and of that number one died in ’59, ten 
were killed during the war, four have died since, and only six are now 
living. The Fraternity made several atttempts to re-establish the 
Chapter subsequent to the war; and finally, in 1886, Mu was revived 
by the efforts of Ala. lota. It was hoped she would gain a permanent 
footing in the University; but her life was very precarious from the 
beginning, and she eked out a bare existence for several years, until 
finally not a vistage remained. In 1881 Wm. M. Adams, who was 
initiated by the Alumnus Chapter at Florence, Ala., became a mem-

ber of the University, and determined that our parent chapter should 
no longer lie in the dust. Selecting seven men, he applied to J. D. 
Castleman, Jr., President of the Province, for power to revive the 
chaptei. Accordingly, on the 30th of April, 1892, J. D. Castleman, Jr., 
accompanied by several members of Ala. Iota, initiated the following 
men: John Little, Jr., Thos. H. Maxwell, Edward C. Burke, James P. 
Powers, Collier Monroe, Jesse C. Nicolls and S. W. Purifoy, in the 
parlors of the Washington Hotel. On that occasion Col. Newton N. 
Clements, Ala. Mu, 1858; Hon. F. S. Moody, Ya. Sigma, 1870; Dr. Wm. 
B. Hall, Jr., Tenn. Omega, 1882, and Wm. M. Blakey, Esq., Ala. Mu, 
1888, were present. This was an occasion of great rejoicing, not only to 
the immediate participants, but to the whole Fraternity. The charter 
had not been surrendered and was returned to the Chapter by J. H. 
Bankhead, Jr., Ala. Mu, 1891, at present in Washington City, who had 
it in his possession. By diligence, ardor and watchfulness, the Chapter 
has grown in true fraternity spirit, and at present numbers seventeen 
men. It is to be hoped that the vicissitudes which have always hung 
over the Chapter may not prove a harbinger of evil in the future. If 
the zeal and devotion of the present membership can only be continued 
and transmitted to coming brethren of Mu, there is no danger of the 
parent chapter ever again sinking into non-existence. 

The following fraternities exist in the University: Delta Kappa Ep¬ 
silon, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Mu, Alpha Tau Omega Kappa Alpha, 
and Signa Alpha Epsilon. Fraternities were established at the Uni¬ 
versity some time prior to the year 1850. It was about this time that 
Delta Kappa Epsilon, closely followed by Alpha Delta Phi, entered the 
University.

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA. 


By the act of March 2, 1819, “ to enable the people of Alabama territory to form a 
Constitution and Stqte government,” Congress donated to Alabama, to be vested in its 
Legislature, and to be appropriated solely “for the use of a seminary of learning,” 
seventy-two sections, or 46,080 acres of the public lands within the State. To carry 
out the object of this grant, and to act in accordance with the resolutions of the con¬ 
vention, which met in Huntsville, Alabama, in July, 1819, for the purpose of forming 
a'Constitution for the State, the University of Alabama was established by an act of the 
General Assembly, approved December 18, 1820. The town of Tuscaloosa was chosen 
as the site of the University by the General Assembly, December 29, 1827, and at the 
meeting of the trustees in March, 1828, the present location was selected, and the 
erection of buildings was forthwith begun. The University was opened for the admis¬ 
sion of students April 17,1831. From the sale of the lands granted by Congress, a large 
fund was provided, and deposited with the State bank. Upon the abolition of the State* 
bank in 1837, the University fund was assumed as a trust fund of the State for the Uni¬ 
versity. Since, it has been decreed that this fund be reduced to $300,000.00 on which 
the State pays an annual interest of $24,000.00. This revenue constitutes the basis of 
operation of the university at the present time. On April 4, 1865, all the public build¬ 
ings, except the astronomical observatory, were burned by a brigade of United States 
cavalry. The General Assembly in 1866, passed an act providing $70,000.00 to replace 
the buildings of the University, and in April, 1869, the University was opened a second 
time. 

On February 23, 1884, Congress passed an act empowering the State of Alabama to 
locate, for the benefit of the University, 46,080 acres of public lands within the State, to 
be applied to the erection of suitable buildings for the University, and to the restoration 
of the library and scientific apparatus, which had been burned ; the surplus, if any, to 
increase the endowment of the University. A large portion of this grant still remains 
in the hands of the University. The Board of Trustees is appointed by the Governor, 
one trustee from each congressional district, and two from the district in which the 
University is located. The Governor and Superintendent of Education are ex-officio 
members of the Board ; the faculty is governed by this Board. Since its beginning, 
the University has numbered many distinguished and eminent men in its faculty and 
among its students. What is known as the close college course was long maintained at 
the University. The system of parallel courses is now most efficiently in operation. 
There are at present five under-graduate courses ; classical, scientific, literary and 
civil and mining engineering. Besides these, there is a law department, and also post¬ 
graduate courses and fellowships. There are three literary societies connected with, 
the University, the Eosophic, Philomathic and Peithonian.

CALIFORNIA ALPHA. 


Soon after the Lelancl Stanford Junior University threw open her 
doors, E. D. Smith and William Mack, two loyal brothers of the Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, started to work to organize a chapter of 
their order at this new Mecca of learning. 

Many difficulties were met on every side. The students were not ac¬ 
quainted with each other; many of them were pledged to other frater¬ 
nities; and there was a certain class, who, being unable to get into fra¬ 
ternities at the institutions at. which they had formerly attended, were 
bitterly opposed to all fraternity men. 

Notwithstanding these difficulties, they pledged eight young men; 
and on the evening of the 5th of March, 1892, initiated them at Bed- 
wood, in the parlors of Price’s Hotel, Bro. Mack acting as E. A., and 
Bro. Smith as E. 0. The following are Alpha’s charter-members: W. E. 
Luman, J. S. Gifford, H. C. King, H. J. Cox, G. J. Bancroft, L. A. 
Pressley, C. S. Downing and J. B. Edwards. 

At the close of this first meeting, the chapter adjourned to the dining 
room, where a banquet awaited them. After partaking of the good 
things which had been provided for the occasion, and responding to a 
number of toasts, they returned to the University, tired out, but full 
of the determination to place the chapter at the head of fraternity life 
on the Pacific Coast. 

With this in view, the members began to look about for men, and 
although it was near the end of the term, they were quite successful, 
for on the 25th of April they initiated Horace E. Williams, a member of 
the Senior Class, who is at present at the head of the geological survey 
of Brazil. 

The extra work which always accompanies the end of the school year 
now became very pressing, so nothing more could be done toward rush¬ 
ing new men. But before the term closed arrangements had been made 
for the erection of a beautiful chapter house in the University town of 
Palo Alto. 

The fifth of September found the chapter established in its new house, 
but rather unfortunate in regard to men, as Brothers Edwards, Williams, 
and Gifford did not return.

A great deal of hard work was accomplished at the opening of the 
term, and with such success that four additions were made to the chap¬ 
ter-roll. 

On the 12tli of December, William Mack, one of the founders affiliated 
with the chapter, was appointed a delegate to the National Convention. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the seventh fraternity to enter Leland 
Stanford, the six before her being, Phi Delt Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, 
Sigma Nu, Sigma Mu Chi, Phi Kappa Psi and Zeta Psi. Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon was the first to erect a chapter-house at Leland Stanford 
Junior University. 

California Alpha’s chapter-house contains twelve rooms beside the 
basement, and three porches add to its beauty and comfort. The par¬ 
lor, library and dining-room are connected by sliding doors, and may be 
converted into one large apartment sixty feet in length. 

At the rear of the building is a neat stable and carriage-house.

LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY. 


Leland Stanford, Jr., University is farthest west of all American Universities. 
It is located about thirty miles south of San Francisco, in the northern j)art of Santa 
Clara county, at far-famed Palo Alto. 

The grant of endowment of the University was made by Senator Leland Stanford 
and his wife, Nov. 14, 1885, the institution being named in memory of their only child, 
Leland Stanford, Jr., who had died while a college student. 

The founders conveyed to twenty-four trustees, eighty-five thousand acres of land in 
fee simple, the rents and profits of which are to be used and expended in the mainte¬ 
nance of the University. The endowment is now $20,000,000.00. 

Most notable among the provisions of the grant are these : 1. The prohibition of 

secretarian instruction. 2. Equal privileges to both sexes. 3. That there shall be 
taught, the immortality of the soul, the existence of a Creator, and that obedience to 
His law is the highest duty of man. 

The University was formally opened on the first day of Oct., 1891. The buildings 
are Romanesque in style, patterning after the old Spanish missions of early California. 
Those already built are the main building, the machine shop, the engine and power 
house, the gymnasiums, Encena Hall, Roble Hall, the museum, and the professors’ 
residences. The main building, in which are located the class-rooms, library, offices, 
etc., is a one-story stone structure in the form of a quadrangle, enclosing an asphalt- 
paved court ornamented with patches of grass, shrubs, flowers and plants. A colonade 
runs around the entire inside of this building, supported by massive stone pillars. 
Four beautiful arches afford entrance to the quadrangle. Encena Hall and Roble Hall 
are two dormatories, the former for the boys, the latter for the “charming girl co-eds.” 
The museum is even now one of great beauty, and when completed, will doubtless have 
very few rivals. 

President David Starr Jordan has gathered around him a very able faculty, consist¬ 
ing mostly of young men. Among them may be mentioned George Elliot Howard, 
A. M., John Casper Brauner, Ph. D., Oliver Peebles Jenkins, Ph. D., John Henry Com¬ 
stock, B. S., Melville B. Anderson, A. M., John Maxon Stfllman, Ph. D., Fernando 
Sanford, M. S., Henry Alfred Todd, Ph. D., Chas. D. Marx, C. E., Jos. Swain, M. S., 
Daniel Kirkwood, LL. D., Ernest M. Pease, A. M., Horace B. Gale, M. E., Chas. H. 
Gilbert, Ph. D., Douglas H. Campbell, Ph. D., Earle Barnes, M. S., and Jacob Gould 
Schurman, D. Sc. The faculty also numbers Andrew D. White, LL. D., and Ex-Pres. 
Harrison. 

The personnel of the students is very striking, nearly every State aud Territory of the 
Union being represented and most of the countries of Europe, while some hail from 
Japan, Honolulu and China.

COLORADO ZETA. 


Colorado Zeta was established Dec. 18, 1891, at the University of 
Denver. Colorado Chi , of the University of Colorado, at Boulder, six 
miles from Denver, was present en masse to initiate the new chapter in 
proper style. It had, from the first, been the pet scheme of the Boulder 
chapter to institute a sister chapter in Denver. She was energetically 
assisted in the undertaking by Harry S. Bunting. 

When school opened in the fall of ’91, the outlook in the Denver 
University was very favorable. Correspondence was opened between 
the two schools, and several members of the chapter went to Denver 
from time to time to push matters. They were fortunate enough to 
secure the assistance of Mr. Marion Law, a graduate student of the 
University. Mr. Law was a member of an eastern fraternity, but 
heartily assisted Sigma Alpha Epsilon; and their success was largely 
due to his efforts. 

Matters were brought to a focus in December; and on Thursday, the 
17th of that month, Bro. Layton went to Denver and on Friday morn¬ 
ing Bro. Potter followed. With the assistance of Mr. Law, these two 
completed all necessary preparations, and telegraphed for the rest of 
chapter Chi that afternoon. 

The initiation took place in the University lodge room in the Haish 
building. From half-past seven to half-past twelve the ceremonies 
lasted, ten men being initiated: George D. Kemball, ’92, Everett John¬ 
son, ’91, Med. ’95, Charles D. Carroll, ’92, Frank C. Schofield, ’95, John 
W. Graham, ’97, W. H. Paul, ’96, J. J. Post, ’91, C. W. Bridwell, ’93, and 
Bros. Yan Hove and Waters. The new chapter chose as its first officers, 
Everett Johnson, as E. A., and Bro. Waters, as E. C. 

The “dark of the morning” was passed with speeches and song and 
mirth in the cheerful banqueting hall at “Nelson’s.” At the request of 
both chapters, Mr. Law presided as toast-master. 

This was but the initiatory occasion of the many good times that Col. 
Zeta and Col. Chi have enjoyed together. Often have they met to 
gether, in company with their fair friends, the ladies of Pi Beta Phi 
and Delta Gamma , to celebrate some victory won on the rostrum or on 
the athletic field.

For the first year, the progress of the chapter was up stream, and it 
required all the encouragement of chapter Chi, and all the assistance of 
the resident alumni to keep it moving. The difficulty was not, however, 
with Zeta’s boys. They have been eminently worthy of their colors. 
But the University of Denver was a new institution, and, although its 
prospects are of the brightest, nevertheless its early days were neces¬ 
sarily unsettled, its student body ever shifting. 

Zeta entered upon her second scholastic year with absent marked 
against the names of several of her members, some having graduated, 
others having gone to older colleges. However, the ranks were soon 
recruited, and Zeta is now a strong, flourishing chapter. 

The resident alumni are very regular in attendance on the chapter 
meetings, which are profitable and enjoyable occasions. 

At the University of Denver, Sigma Alpha Epsilon comes in contact 
with Beta Theta Pi Fraternity and Pi Beta Phi Sorority.

THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER. 


The University of Denver is under the auspices of the Colorado Conference of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church. Its management is Christian, but by no means sectarian, 
several denominations of Christians being represented in the board of trustees and in 
the faculties. 

This institution, unlike many that bear the name of University, is truly universal in 
the range of its instruction. Its work is divided into ten active and efficient depart¬ 
ments, the College of Liberal Arts, including a Fitting School, the College of Medi¬ 
cine, the College of Dentistry, the College of Pharmacy, the Iliffe School of Theology, 
the School of Law, the College of Fine Arts, the College of Music, the School of Manual 
Training, and the Business College. 

The professional schools, and the Schools of Art, Music, Business and Manual Training 
are in the heart of the city. The College of Liberal Arts and the Iliffe School of 
Theology are located in a beautiful suburb, University Park. Here is also the Cham¬ 
berlin Observatory, destined in all probability to become one of the famous obser¬ 
vatories of the world. University Park is delightfully located on rising ground over¬ 
looking the entire city and commanding a view of mountains and valleys for a distance 
of two hundred miles. “ Liquor selling and saloons are forever excluded.’’ Here the 
faculty will live, and here will be built a distinctly University community. The 
buildings already erected are the Chamberlin Observatory, the Iliffe School of Theology 
Building—erected by Wm. S. Iliffe of the College of Liberal Arts, Class of ’88, at a cost 
of $50,000 ; the Wicliffe “ Cottage for Young Ladies,” and the University Hall. The 
Wieliffe “Cottage for Young Ladies ” is the first of the proposed series of such cottages, 
each designed to accommodate fifteen young ladies and a matron and teacher-in-charge # 

The University Hall is one of the finest of college buildings. Its cost was $80,000. 
It contains a chapel, study hall, recitation, and recreation rooms, a gymnasium, library 
and reading room, physical and chemical laboratories, and two literary society halls, 
beside business offices. 

During ’91, the University received an endowment of $100,000. 

Among the faculty may be mentioned, Herbert A. Howe, A. M., Sc. D., Professor of 
Mathematics and Astronomy and Director of the Chamberlin Observatory, Ammy B. 
Hyde, A. M., D. D., Professor of Greek and Hebrew, and Mary Low Dickinson, Emeri¬ 
tus Professor of Belles Letters and Lecture on English Literature. 

The present chancellor is William F. McDowell, A. M., S. T. B., Ph. D. The Uni¬ 
versity is growing rapidly under his administration.

COLORADO CHI. 


Colorado Chi was established at the University of Colorado, April 
11, 1891. The charter members were Paul M. North, Harry P. Layton, 
Harry McGinnis, Conrad Bluhm and Alwyn C. Smith. Brothers F. Ed. 
King and Walter Spence of Iota Beta, University of Michigan, per¬ 
formed the initiatory ceremonies, after which an elegant banquet was 
served at the Bowen hotel. During the following year. Brother McGin¬ 
nis was absent in Wyoming; but the chapter roll was increased by the 
addition of three new members: Lewis Gaylord, Wellington Givens 
and Chas. A. Potter. The year proved a most auspicious one for the 
chapter. Chi’s members were prominent in the literary societies, in 
athletics, on the portfolio staff, and in the oratorical contests. At the 
annual local contest in oratory, held February 20 in the Boulder rink, 
Brother Conrad Bluhm received first rank, and Brother Chas. Potter, 
second. 

At the close of the contest, the Sigs celebrated their victory with a 
great banquet, at which the members and pledges of the Delta Gamma 
Sorority were invited guests. At the State contest held in Colorado 
Springs, March 18, 1892, Brother Conrad Bluhm received second place. 

In the Pliilomathean oratorical contest, Brother Givens was awarded 
first prizq. At the opening of the fall term in September, 1892, Chi’s 
ranks were full. Brother Harry McGinnis having returned from Wyom¬ 
ing. Then followed a period of vigorous activity. There was intense 
“rushing” in the Greek world, and the heart of the barbarian was filled 
with alarm. Chi gained a signal victory over the rival fraternity, pledg¬ 
ing six men, each of whom had been invited to join the Delta Taus. 
The initiation of Brothers Fryer, Hamill, Miller and Webster took place 
at the chapter rooms in the afternoon of October 21—Columbus Day. 
A grand reception 'and banquet followed at the Bowen hotel. The 
ladies of the Delta Gamma and Pi Beta Phi Sororities from Boulder and 
Denver were present, also visiting Sigs from Denver. The occasion was 
one of great rejoicing. 

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity did some fine “rushing, ” also on 
the foot ball field in the several inter-collegiate games played during the 
autumn of 1892. Brother Layton and Webster proved most excellent 
men in the University foot ball team. In literary work, the chapter dis-

played unwonted activity. The Silver and Gold began its career at the 
U. of C. as a weekly paper in September, 1890, Brothers Potter and 
Bluhm filling the responsible offices of editor-in-chief and business man. 
ager. When the Homerian Literary Society decided upon the publica¬ 
tion of a University Annual , Brother Bluhm was appointed editor-in- 
chief, and Brothers Gaylord and Layton, business managers. The suc¬ 
cess of the enterprise was due in a very large degree to the untiring 
efforts of these three Sigs. One victory in oratorical combat fell to 
the chapter this year. Holly Givens, a true pledge of the fraternity, and 
brother of the victor of the year before, captured the first prize in the 
Philomathean contest. 

Colo. Chi lost two of its members by graduation, June 1, 1893, 
Brothers North and Potter, the first alumni of the chapter. 

On December 18, 1891, Colo. Chi established Colo. Zeta.

COLORADO CHI. 


UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO. 


The University of Colorado was incorporated by an act of the Territorial Legislature 
in 1860. 

Its history during the next ten years is nil; but in ’71, two public spirited citizens, 
determining to make the University a fact , donated for it fifty-two acres of finely located 
land. Incited by this, in ’74, the Legislature appropriated $15,000, and the people of 
Boulder contributed the same amount. 

In 1875, Congress set apart 72 sections of the public lands in Colorado, for the support 
of a State University ; and in ’76, the new State provided in its constitution, that the in' 
stitution at Boulder should be the State University, thus entitling it to these lands. 
Provision for its permanent support was made by the first General Assembly, an annual 
tax of one-fifth of a mill being imposed on all property in the State. 

The main building was completed in ’77 ; and in September of that year the school 
opened with forty-four pupils and two professors. 

In ’78, the General Assembly appropriated $7,000 for apparatus and furniture ; and 
in ’83 raised by special tax, about $40,000 for buildings and improvements. Another 
appropriation was made in ’90, $40,000 for the erection of the Hale Scientific Building. 
The University real estate is now valued at $100,000. The seven buildings now erected 
are, however, but the beginning. 

The faculty now, 1892, consists of nineteen professors, three instructors and a librarian. 
The first president was Dr. J. A. Sewall, who served from ’77 to ’87. The present in¬ 
cumbent is Horace M. Hale, LL. D. 

During the present administration, the institution is progressing marvelously, the at¬ 
tendance for the year 92-3, being 75 per cent, greater than that of the previous year. 

The University is situated at Boulder, a town of 5,000 inhabitants, in a region re¬ 
markable for the magnificence of its scenery.

CONNECTICUT ALPHA. 


It would be hard to saj 7 just when and how the Connecticut Alpha 
took its rise; its beginning was November 1, 1892, its [origin some 
three years previous. Any one who is familiar with the student’s life 
at Trinity knows that it is impossible for a student not to be connected 
with some crowd of fellows. They may not be organized but the feel¬ 
ing of brotherhood is there to a great extent. Students, who for four 
years occupy the same building, dine together and meet in the class 
room and on the campus, are sure to form associations, although they 
may be known under no particular name. 

The members of the present Connecticut Alpha had for some time 
been considering the desirability of forming a chapter of a Greek letter 
fraternity. In 1891 the Chi Phi was considered and while the Brown 
chapter was trying to obtain a charter for Trinity, which is an opera¬ 
tion attended with miles of red-tape, L. J. Doolittle representing the 
New York Alpha chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Cornell, stole a 
march on them. Mr. Doolittle first broached the subject to Mr. E. B. 
Dean of establishing a chapter at Trinity. As a result of their discus¬ 
sion, Mr. Doolittle visited Trinity College September 19, 1892, and met 
the following men in No. 43, Jarvis Hall: F. B. Cole, E. B. Dean, W. L. 
French, S. H. Jobe, H. M. Smith and R. H. Woffenden, all members of 
1893. They were favorably impressed with the history and present 
standing of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and agreed to further consider 
the subject of founding a chapter at Trinity; admitting to their delibera¬ 
tions N. T. Pratt, 94. 

October 10, notice was received from Cornell that everything was O. 
K. to go ahead and choose desirable men to the number of fifteen or 
twenty. Thirteen men were chosen in all, and Messrs. Matlock and 
Doolittle arrived in Hartford November 11th. The initiation was con¬ 
ducted in the Allyn House parlors, after which a banquet was served 
in Hafenstein’s cafe. 

The founding of Connecticut Alpha was a complete surprise to the 
college community, but was immediately recognized by the other fra. 
ternities. The college correspondents for the various papers, were 
bound to have the fact published that Sigma Alpha Epsilon was a South¬ 
ern fraternity. The Springfield “ Republican,” always a liberal paper, 

( 53 ) 



54 


CONNECTICUT ALPHA. 


did acknowledge that there was one other chapter in New England. 
The following are Alpha’s charter members: 

F. B. Cole, E. B. Dean, H. M. Smith, W. L. French, R. H. Noffenden, 
S. H. Jobe, N. T. Pratt, H. H. James, S. K. Evans, G. E. Hamlin, F. E. 
Pratt and E. G. Pittblado. 

There are seven fraternities at present in Trinity. The following is 
a short statement of their standing: I. K. A., a local fraternity founded 
in 1829. They at present number ten men and own a pretty brown, 
stone society house situated near the college. 

The Delta Psi is next from the standpoint of age. They have eigh¬ 
teen men and own an elegant granite chapter house near the college. 
Their chapter house cost $60,000, and is said to be one of the fin est in 
the country. 

The Alpha Delta Phi was founded in 1877, being a local society pre¬ 
vious to that time. They number twenty-two, and own a substantial 
brick chapter house. 

The Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter was founded in 1879. They have 
thirteen men and no chapter house. 

# The Beta Beta chapter of the Psi Upsilon was founded in 1841. They 
number nineteen men, and own a brownstone building distant about 
half a mile from the college. 

The Phi Gamma Delta charter was founded February 11,1893. They 
have nine men and no chapter house. 

Connecticut Alpha is as yet too young to possess an extensive his 
tory. Her men are good, honest, solid fellows. They are good students, 
two out of the six seniors being Phi Beta Kappa men. They take a 
prominent part in all class and college meetings, and are well repre¬ 
sented in all organizations. 


TRINITY COLLEGE. 


55 


TRINITY COLLEGE. 


In 1823, the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut voted a charter to Wash¬ 
ington College, as Trinity was first called. It was expressly provided that no religious 
test whatever should be required of any officer, and that the “religious tenets of no 
person should be made a condition of admission to any privilege in the college.” 

As Hartford furnished a large part of the endowment fund, it was decided to locate 
the college in that city. 

Two buildings were at once erected, one of which was a dormitory containing rooms 
for one hundred students. The dormitory system has always been a marked feature of 
the institution and is regarded as an important part of college life by the trustees. 

From the very first, the college made liberal preparation for a course in science and 
political economy. It is believed that Prof. Hickok was the first professor of political 
economy in this country. 

In 1845, on petition of the Corporation and Alumni, the General Assembly changed 
the name to Trinity College. This step was taken in order to prevent confusion with 
other institutions in this country which had the same name, and to secure a name which 
is held in such high esteem at Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin. 

In 1872, the old grounds of the college were sold to the city of Hartford, and a new 
site consisting of a tract of eighty acres in the suburbs was purchased. The present 
site is on a bluff commanding the whole width of the Connecticut valley. The location 
is high and the drainage perfect. This, perhaps, accounts for the remarkable good 
health enjoyed by the college community. 

The main building which contains the dormitories and many of the lecture rooms, is 
a stadium in length, and is built of brown Portland stone, trimmed with Ohio sand¬ 
stone. The style of architecture is Gothic. The students’ rooms are models for comfort 
and convenience, two students occupying a common study, with separate bedrooms. 
Besides the main building, there is the Jarvis Hall of Science and the Gymnasium, each 
of which cost $50,000. These, together with the observatory, five professors’ houses and 
the various fraternity houses complete the list of buildings. 

The college has unusual facilities from an athletic standpoint. Besides a well 
equipped gymnasium under a competent instructor, there is an athletic field provided 
with grand stand, base ball and foot ball grounds. Considering *>er size, Trinity has 
always held a prominent place in almost every branch of athletics. She was the 
founder of the Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Association, and the first to introduce 
canvas jackets in foot ball. 

One advantage of Trinity College is its situation in Hartford, a city which has long 
been celebrated for its social and intellectual life.

FLORIDA UPSILON. 


Florida Upsilon owed its brief existence to Milton Bryan of Georgia 
Epsilon. 

Bro. Bryan was a resident of Florida, who, after having studied awhile 
at Emory College, in Georgia, and being there initiated into the Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, entered the Florida University at its opening 
in Tallahassee. Regarding the founding of the University as sure, and 
thinking its prospects bright, Bro. Bryan determined to pre-empt it for 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 

The first of his fellow-students to be broached on the subject were 
John T. G. Crawford and Isaac L. Harris. Permission having been re¬ 
ceived from the Grand Chapter, he initiated these men in the office of 
the Secretary of State of Florida, February 11, 1884. On February 
16th, Clarence I. M. Shine was made a member, and on the 20tli, Henry 
B. Shine, Arlington McMahon, and William Baily were added. These 
were the members when the charter arrived, and the first officers were 
elected. 

The chapter was called Upsilon in the charter. This name does not 
appear to have satisfied the members, for they applied to the Grand 
Chapter for permission to “ enlarge ” it to Phi Upsilon. The Grand 
Chapter, however, preferred the shorter title, and so it remained. 

The chapter held regular weekly meetings in the University Hall 
until the institution became practically inopperative. 

The last meeting was held March 2, 1885. There were then present, 
Isaac L. Harris, John T. G. Crawford, William Daily, C. I. Shine, It. A. 
Shine, and H. It. Shine. These worthy brethren on this occasion, see¬ 
ing that the University was rapidly approaching dissolution, reluctantly 
resolved to disband the chapter and return the charter. 

Thus Florida was won and lost for S. A. E. No attempt has since 
been made to reclaim the “ land of flowers.” 

At the University of Florida, Sigma Alpha Epsilon came in contact 
with Alpha Tau Omega.

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA. 


The Constitution of Florida, adopted in ’68, declared that “The legislature shall 
provide a uniform system of common schools and a University, and shall provide for 
the liberal maintenance of the same.’’ 

In conformity with this provision of the constitution, The University of Florida was 
chartered in February, 1883. The charter was very liberal, but the organization con¬ 
templated was rather peculiar. The University was to include colleges of Liberal Arts, 
Medicine and Law, a Theological Institute, and a Polytechnic and Normal Institute. 
The courses were not to be arranged by years, but the colleges were to be divided into 
“schools of instruction.” Thus, in the Literary College were to be the schools of 
Natural Science, Mathematics, English and History, Metaphysics, and Ancient Lan- 
gauges. The Polytechnic Institute was to embrace schools of Natural Science, Civil 
Engineering, Mining and Metelurgy, Mechanics and Building, Painting, Music, Photo¬ 
graphy and the like, and also a Normal Training School and a Commercial School. The 
completion of the courses in one of these schools was to entitle the student to a certificate 
of proficiency, and the student having received four of these certificates was to be en¬ 
titled to a diploma of the University, the degree conferred depending upon the schools 
chosen. 

The institution was organized in ’83 with two colleges, the literary and the medical. 

The Medical College was known as the Tallahassee College of Medicine and Surgery, 
and has since been removed to Jackson and there successfully conducted. The Literary 
College was really the West Florida Seminary which had been incorporated into the 
University. It, however, retained its charter and organization, trustees and endow¬ 
ment, and has continued its work as a classical school to the present. The number of 
students in attendance during the first session of the University was seventy-eight- 
Of these, only eight were at the Medical College. The last catalogue of the University 
the one published in ’84-5, shows a faculty of twenty-one members, eight of whom were 
in the Literary College. 

Though a State University, the University of Florida owed its origin to private en¬ 
terprise, and was to be maintained without State aid. 

It originated with Rev. John Kost, M. D., LL. D., and he was chosen chancellor.

GEORGIA BETA. 


Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the first fraternity to enter the University 
of Georgia, Georgia Beta having been founded in ’66, during the first 
post helium session of the University. 

On the last night of ’65, G. T. Goetchins and J. R McClesky conceived 
the idea of establishing a chapter of their fraternity at Athens, where 
they were then completing their college course, which had been inter¬ 
rupted by the war. These brothers were members of the famous Mari¬ 
etta Chapter, Georgia Pi, which had ceased to exist on the disbanding 
of the Georgia Military Institute, only a few months before. During 
the winter of ’66, they were joined by their old school-mate and frater, 
Samuel Spencer, and the three proceeded cautiously to gather the chosen 
men of the institution into their frandschaft. They found no trouble in 
their undertaking, as they had behind them all the prestige of their in¬ 
dividual records in the Confederate service, and of the reputation of 
Georgia Pi. Then, too, there was no rival in the field. Thus Georgia 
Beta was established on a basis that has enabled her to maintain, with¬ 
out interruption, her position of pre-eminence both in the University, 
and in the General Fraternity. 

When Georgia Beta was first established, there was a rule on the sta¬ 
tute-book of the University, prohibiting the students from assembling 
in any secret manner, or holding membership in any secret club. This 
rule greatly perplexed the founders of the chapter, and they laid the 
matter before the Chancellor, Dr. A. A. Lipscomb. He and his faculty 
at once decided that the law was intended to apply to political and drink¬ 
ing clubs. Being well assured that Sigma Alpha Epsilon is no such or¬ 
ganization, they gave full permission for its establishment at the Uni¬ 
versity of Georgia, and the chapter enrolled as its first honorary member 
the venerable Chancellor himself. 

Until commencement, the existence of the fraternity was not generally 
known, and for a while, the time and place of meeting was kept secret. 
From the minutes, it appears, however, that the chapter met regularly 
ever Saturday night; but had no particular place of meeting. Finally 
two rooms were rented, which continued to be the chapter-home until 
1892. In that year, Beta leased a suite of rooms in a new bank building 
opposite the campus. These rooms are large, and finely furnished—

“the handsomest in town”—and are frequently the scene of entertain¬ 
ments and socials given by the fraternity. 

A movement was made, some time ago, to build a chapter-house. A 
lot was purchased, but afterwards sold, as it was found impossible to 
raise immediately sufficient funds for the enterprise. The money raised 
is still in the hands of the chapter, and the boys hope before long to 
have a substantial house. 

Georgia Beta has more members than any other chapter in the frater¬ 
nity. For twenty-seven years she has been one of its most enthusiastic 
and energetic chapters. Not only has she worked faithfully for Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon in Georgia; but the whole country, especially the South, 
has felt the impetus of her active interest, and her representatives have 
always taken a prominent part in the fraternity conventions. 

Beta was the fifth Grand Chapter of the fraternity, filling that re¬ 
sponsible and laborious position with credit, from ’69 to 76, and since 
the abolition of the Grand Chapter system, she has furnished a large pro¬ 
portion of the E. S. A’s. and Supreme Councilmen. 

The catalogue of ’86, was her work—it speaks for itself. From ’85 to 
’93, Georgia Beta was Grand Chapter of Province A., which included the 
States of Georgia and Alabama. On the re-arrangement of the Provinces 
in ’93, Beta was made Grand Chapter of Province Gamma, which em¬ 
braces the States of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South 
Carolina, Georgia and Florida. 

The fraternities at Athens, in order of their establishment, are Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon, Chi Phi, Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Delta Tau Delta, 
Sigma Nu and Chi Psi. The usual active membership of these chapters 
is seventeen or eighteen. Their relations with each other have usually 
been friendly, though keenly competative. In the fall of 1890, however,. 
Georgia Beta became involved in a difficulty with the Eta chapter of 
Chi Phi. This grew out of an article published in the Chi Phi Quar¬ 
terly. Several communications passed between Eta, of Chi Phi, and 
Georgia Beta, which, being published by the Chi Phi’s, called the at¬ 
tention of the faculty to the matter. The result was that both chapters, 
together with the chapter of Kappa Alpha, were compelled to suspend 
active work for the rest of the academic year, the business of each be¬ 
ing left to a “Transacting Committee” of its own members. 

It is the consensus of opinion among the students of the University, 
and among the people of Athens, that the action taken by the members 
of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Alpha in this matter was such as is 
fitting for gentlemen of honor. 

The faculty, too, acknowledged this fact, but declining to be made a 
court of arbitration, acted only with reference to the broken rules. 


UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA. 


The University of Georgia, situated at Athens, was chartered by the General As¬ 
sembly of the State, January 27, 1785. The year previous, forty thousand acres of the 
State lands had been given in trust for the endowment of a University. These land& 
were on the northwest frontier and were at the time unproductive of income, so noth¬ 
ing further was done toward organizing the University for some time. 

In 1801, however, Governor Milledge donated six hundred and thirty acres of land, 
twenty-seven acres of which was chosen as the college campus. Here has grown up 
the town of Athens, and here the school was put in operation in 1801, with Josiah 
Meigs as president and sole instructor. As there were then no buildings and no ready 
money with which to build, the first classes recited to Dr. Meigs, under the shade of a 
large oak ; and the first graduating exercises were conducted in May, 1804, under an 
arbor formed of green bows, ten young men receiving the degree of A. B. 

Various small appropriations have been made to the University by the State, and the 
State pays an annual interest of $8,000 on the money derived from the sale of the origi¬ 
nal land grant. 

From the sale of lands accepted from the United States in ’66, the University ob¬ 
tained $242,202. It has also received various private donations—six hundred and thirty 
acres of land, Governor Milledge ; $20,000, Dr. Terrill ; $15,000, George R. Gilmer ; 
$25,000, city of Athens, and $50,000 from Senator Jos. E. Brown, known as the Chas. 
McDonald Brown Scholarship Fund. The present property of the University, includ¬ 
ing its ten main college buildings, is estimated at $663,000. 

The original institution established at Athens, was, and is yet called Franklin College. 
This was considered as a College of the University of Georgia, and is the seat of Georgia 
Beta. 

In May, 1872, the trustees, in compliance with their agreement in accepting the United 
States land grant, opened the Georgia State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic 
Arts. This institution is distinct in its organization from Franklin College, but both 
are parts of the University, and “the students of both are taught by the professors of 
each, frequently in the same classes. There are thus two colleges in one.” Associated 
with these two colleges at Athens, and of equal grade, is the North Georgia Agricultural 
College at Dahlonega. In addition to these three colleges, there are under the Univer¬ 
sity, a Law Department at Athens, a Medical Department at Augusta, and fitting 
schools doing the work of the Freshmen and Sophomore years at Thomasville and 
Milldgeville. The S. W. Agricultural College at Cuthbert, was formerly also a univer¬ 
sity fitting school. 

In ’69, the University adopted the “Elective System,” and in ’70, the “University 
System.” There are now seven different Baccalauriate degrees. 

The institution has been under the guidance of presidents—Josiah Meigs, LL. D., 
1800-11 ; John Brown, D. D., 1812-16 ; Robert Finley, D. D., 1816-17 ; Moses Wad¬ 
dell, D. D., 1817-29; Alonzo Church, D. D-, 1829-59; and chancelors—Andrew A. 
Lapscomb, D. D., LL. D., 1860-74; H. H. Tucker, D. D., LL. D., 1874-78; P. H. 
Mill, D. D., LL. D., 1873-88.

GEORGIA DELTA. 


The history of Georgia Delta is not pleasant to contemplate—not that 
Delta has not added to Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s roster names of which 
we can be proud; indeed, her membership roll is a remarkably bright 
one, but it is unpleasant to reflect that a chapter may sometimes fall to 
pieces, cease to exist, not from external pressure, but from want of in¬ 
ternal cohesion. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon entered the North Georgia Agricultural Col¬ 
lege at Dalilonega, September 29, 1879. The charter members were 
Robert B. Cousins, Robert Garner, L. L. Lyon, Ulrick H. McLaws, 
Charles Edgar Watt, Horace E. Wilson, Walter Scott Wilson and 
Charles R. Winship. The standard bearer of the fraternity was G. 
Roland Lyon, Ga. Psi, ’75, and his first recruit was his brother, L. L. 
Lyon, then a Junior at the North Ga. Agric. College. This last Lyon 
accomplished the task of spiking his seven co-initiates. 

The chapter was immediately prosperous, and its letter to the first 
Record in ’80, states the number of active members as seventeen. In¬ 
deed, its prosperity in the matter of gaining new members seems to 
have been “ too much of a good thing.” The Grand Chapter became 
alarmed and threatened to withdraw the charter. Delta then became 
more cautious, and having initiated two members of the college faculty, 
profited by their maturer councils. But the mischief had been wrought. 
While her initiates were all—with the exception of one on the “Black 
List”—men of excellent character and good parts, they did not all prove 
congenial, and discord and faction ensued. This resulted in such ne¬ 
glect of duties, both local and general, that at the convention held at 
Nashville in ’85, the Grand Chapter, Tenn. Omega, recommended the 
withdrawal of the charter, saying—“There seems to be something funda¬ 
mentally wrong in Ga. Delta’s management. * * The fraternity 

has reached such a point that it is impossible to hope for success unless 
every chapter is prompt and business-like in the discharge of every 
duty.” W. B. Jaynes and K. G. Nesbit were Ga. Delta’s delegates to the 
convention. They made a determined fight for their chapter, and con¬ 
vinced the fraternity of the foolishness of dissolving a chapter for a few 
delinquencies which they promised should be redeemed in the future. 
At the Columbia convention, in ’87, Ga. Delta was reported in all re-

spects “ square” with the general fraternity. Nevertheless her domestic 
troubles had not in the least abated. The session of ’86-7 opened with 
only Bros. Nesbit and J. G. Basinger as active members. The list of 
the initiates* after this time, however, shows how well they worked- 
But the old misfortune continued to follow the chapter, and after duly 
considering the matter, by unanimous consent the charter was returned? 
November 30, 1888. 

One of the good things that may be related of Ga. Delta is that, in 
the days when the Record was supported entirely by voluntary sub¬ 
scription, she was the first chapter to subscribe and pay for a copy for 
each of her members. 

Ga. Delta’s rivals were, Sigma Nu, founded in ’81, and Kappa Sigma, 
founded in ’85. Their rivalry was always of the friendliest.

NORTH GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. 


The North Georgia Agricultural College owes its foundation to the act of 
Congress of July 2d, 1862, entitled “ An act donating public lands to the several States 
and Territories which may provide Colleges for the benefit of agricultural and mechanic 
arts.” 

The General Assembly of Georgia having accepted the donation, March 10, 1866, 
“ upon the terms and conditions prescribed in the act;of Congress,” placed it under the 
control of the Trustees of the University of Georgia. The North Georgia Agricultural 
College was incorporated by them in 1871, and received from the United States Gov¬ 
ernment a donation of the building at Dahlonega, theretofore known as the United Sates 
Branch Mint, with ten acres of land connected therewith. A contract was then made 
by the new Trustees with the Trustees of the State University, by which the North 
Georgia Agricultural College became part of the University, the Trustees of the Uni¬ 
versity appointing the President of the College, making certain allowances for its sup¬ 
port, and exercising over it a general supervision. 

The College at once entered upon a prosperous career, with courses of study arranged 
in accordance with the spirit of the act, and to meet existing conditions. 

The Honorable David W. Lewis was chosen first President of the College, and re¬ 
mained at the head of the institution until his death in December, 1885. A substan¬ 
tial marble shaft has been erected to his memory on the College grounds by the old 
students, agricultural societies of the State and other friends. Major W. S. Basinger 
is now President. 

The Military Department was organized in 1877, the first officer detailed by the 
Secretary of War being Lieut, (now Captain'; Joseph Garrard, of West Point. The de¬ 
partment has always been under the direction of West Point graduates. 

The institution being co-educational, has already had a fair attendance of young 
ladies. They are entitled to share the same honors and degrees as the male students. 
This department of the College is under female supervision. 

A normal department has been maintained since 1877. 

The Local Board of Trustees at Dahlonega has been untiring in its efforts to promote 
the welfare and extend the usefulness of the institution. Col. W. P. Price, ex-Con- 
gressman, has been President of this Board since its first establishment, and the North 
Georgia Agricultural College to-day stands as a monument to his zeal and energy. 

The College has a substantial and well equipped building, with valuable grounds 
surrounding it. Dahlonega, the home of the institution, is a town of fine moral tone 
and culture, nestling closely under the picturesque Blue Ridge. The altitude of the 
place, purity of its atmosphere, and its good water have long rendered it a celebrated 
health resort.

Georgia Epsilon was founded October 15, 1881. The charter was 
procured by Walter E. Brown, of Atlanta, Ga., on the 2d of July, 1881, 
at the convention of the fraternity then in session there. 

J. E. Hunnicutt was soon after initiated by the Atlanta Alumnus 
Chapter, and E. S. Patillo, of Albany, Ga., was initiated about the same 
time by the Albany Alumnus Chapter. Hunnicutt, at the time of his 
initiation, was a member of the senior class at Emory College. Patillo 
had not entered college when he was initiated, but matriculated in October 
of the same year. A. J. Smith joined the fraternity late in October, 1881, 
at Oxford. These three, having combined their energies, soon after 
secured C. M. Taylor and L. S. Arrington, and sent them to Atlanta to 
be initiated. They did this because, in the first place, the chapter at 
Emory had not fully organized, and, in the second place, it had not 
been recognized by the trustees, and they did not wish to violate the 
college laws, which allowed no fraternity to be organized without the 
consent of the trustees. 

W. M. Bearden, having consented to join, was sent to Augusta during 
November and was initiated by the Alumnus Chapter there. These 
six men are regarded as the charter members. J. L. Teague was pledged 
during the Spring term of ’82, and initiated, as soon as they were recog¬ 
nized by the trustees, in the July following. 

The chapter began the Pall term of ’82 under very favorable circum¬ 
stances. All of the charter members, except Hunnicutt, returned, and 
Flournoy and L. L. Arrington, a brother of L. S., and several more 
good men were taken in, and the chapter moved along smoothly enough. 

All of the members stood very high in their classes, as well as socially, 
and a more congenial set of fraternity men could not be found. The 
Spring term of ’83 made little change in their forces except to add one 
or two men. Epsilon’s delegate to the Louisville convention in ’82 was 
the essayist for that occasion. There were no new developments in the 
history of the chapter in the Fall term of ’83 except the addition of 
several new men, and the loss of L. S. Arrington and Bryan. The 
Spring term of ’84 noted the loss also of several of the members, among 
them Smith, Patillo and Shipp. The chapter also lost, by death, during 
this term one of its best and most enthusiastic members, Thomas 
7 ( 97 )

Hicks, of Florida. He is the only deceased member of Epsilon up to 
date. 

The chapter continued to prosper, and its members were always 
chosen from the very best classes, socially and mentally, and were very 
popular with the student body. In fact, the members came to the 
erroneous conclusion that blue blood was the only evidence of true 
worth, and as the incoming freshmen did not possess in their ranks a 
sufficient number of men who came up to their standard, the chapter 
gradually decreased in numbers till in ’88, the charter was returned. 
The chapter, however, maintained to the last its high standing, the last 
member, Graves, graduating in ’91 with fourth honor. The General 
Fraternity was very much displeased with Epsilon’s policy, and patiently 
awaited her dissolution with the purpose of re-establishing her on a 
different basis. The opportunity came in September, ’92. Three men, 
Bros. Lee, LeConte and McRae, had been pledged the preceding year, 
and a fourth man, Thomson, had been pledged just before the opening of 
the term. According to plans laid beforehand, these four were joined 
by Bros. H. S. and G. H. Bunting, of Atlanta, Ga., at the opening of 
the term. 

With the aid of these two enthusiastic and loyal sigs, there were soon 
found seven men adjudged worthy to wear the purple and gold, viz: 
Cleckler, Rumph, Bivings, Hawes, Morgan, Hines and Yickers. These, 
with the above mentioned four, Lee, LeConte, McRae and Thomson, 
were the new charter members. 

Soon after, however, the chapter lost two men, Bro. Morgan being 
compelled to return home, and Bro. Biving affiliating with Ga Beta. 
Bro. Irvin was initiated later on. Epsilon has now a solid foundation 
and fired with the enthusiasm which always accompanies new life, she 
has high hopes for the future, already in the first year of her re-estab- 
lishment coming in for her share of the commencement honors. 

The fraternities at Oxford in order of their establishment are, Kappa 
Alpha, Chi Phi, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Tau 
Omega, Delta Tau Delta, and Sigma Nu. Their relations have always 
been good. 


EMORY COLLEGE.

EMORY COLLEGE. 


Emory College is one of the four great educational institutions of Georgia—the 
other three being the Wesleyan Female College, at Macon, Mercer University, and the 
University of Georgia. It is a denominational institution, being under the joint super¬ 
vision and auspices of the North and South Georgia Conferences and the Florida Confer¬ 
ence of the M. E. Church South. 

Its charter was granted on the 10th of December, 1836, and at a meeting of the board 
of trustees in December, 1837, Ignatius A. Few, LL. D., was chosen president of the 
college ; Archelaus H. Mitchell, professor of Moral and Mental Philosophy ; Alexander 
Means, professor of Natural Sciences ; Geo. W. Lane, professor of Ancient Languages ; 
and Harry B. Lane, professor of Mathematics and Civil Engineering. 

With the election of this faculty, the institution was at once opened ; the first class 
of three students graduated in 1841. Since that time, with the exception of the war 
suspension (1862-68), the exercises have been regularly conducted. According to the 
report of the U. S. Bureau of Education, ’89, its graduation list at that time numbered 
eight hundred and twenty-six students, and the average attendance had been two 
hundred—it is now about three hundred. 

Since Dr. Few, the college has been under the direction of Presidents Augustus A. 
Longstreet, George F. Pierce, Alexander Means, James R. Thomas, Luther M. Smith, 
Atticus G. Haygood, Isaac S. Hopkins and W. A. Candled. 

The corps of instructors now numbers fifteen. They conduct, in addition to the course 
in Liberal Arts, a commercial school, school of telegraphy, school of law, and a school of 
tool-craft and design, or technology. 

The Academic Department includes a classical course of four years, exclusive of two 
sub-freshman years, and a scientific course of three years. Bible instruction is an im¬ 
portant element in both these courses. 

The chief glory of Emery College is, however, its Department of Technology. This 
school was the first successful attempt to introduce and popularize manual training as a 
college discipline in the State df Georgia, having been opened by the college in October, 
’84. Work in this department covers a period of three years, and is so arranged as to 
encourage any strong predilection for any particular branch. A great^deal of interest 
has been manifested in the Emory Technological School, both North and South, and 
contributions have been made to it, until it now represents in buildings and equipments 
an investment of $10,000. 

Emory College has an endowment of $300,000, of which $100,000 is the gift of George 
I. Seney, of New York. It has eight well equipped buildings, of which the most beau¬ 
tiful is Seney Hall—so called in honor of its donor—built at a cost of $75,000. 

There are, however, no dormitories, the students rooming in town; but the college 
maintains “ helping halls ” for the benefit of worthy students needing help. The first 
helping hall was opened in ’76—a six-roomed cottage. There are now three buildings, 
the largest in town. 

Oxford, the seat of the college, is a beautiful village, located on a high granite ridge, 
about forty miles east of Atlanta. The college campus is a grove of primeval hickory 
and oak, forty acres in extent.

GEORGIA ETA. 


Sigma Alpha Epsilon was among 1 the first Greek letter fraternities to 
find her way into Georgia Eta was her second chapter in the State, 
Pi having been founded a little more than a year before. At the time 
of her establishment no other fraternity had yet a chapter in Oglethorpe, 
the Chi chapter of Beta Theta Pi being established a short time later. 

The successful planting of a chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon in this 
institution was due to the efforts of J. A. Cody, of North Carolina Xi, 
class of ’61. Five of the strongest men in the University constituted 
the charter membership. These were William Pelham, ’59; Edward 
Foster Hoye, ’60; John Andrew Weems, ’60; John Woodville Baker, ’61; 
and James Garland Lane, ’62. The initiation took place Jan. 23, 1859. 

Few chapters have been established under more auspicious circum¬ 
stances than was Eta. Oglethorpe was a growing University and gave 
every indication of becoming a good fraternity home. But with the war 
came financial embarrassment, and soon college exercises had to be 
abandoned. In the Spring of ’63 Eta was disbanded, and all the members 
enlisted in the Confederate army. Judge T. H. Whitaker was the last 
member initiated. Some time later he wrote that he joined Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon one night and the next week left for the army. 

Only thirteen members were enrolled. Though few in number, of 
honors they won their share: two were valedictorians, two were saluta- 
torians, and fully ten first prizes were won by Sigma Alpha Epsilon 
during her four years existence. Several of Eta’s men were brave 
soldiers and won distinguished honors on the field of battle. Edward 
F. Hoge and John W. Baker attained the rank of Colonel in the C. S. 
A. William E. Goetchins and Samuel T. Dean were killed in action; 
the founder, J. A. Cody, lost a leg in the battle of Missionary Ridge. 
When the University reopened, prospects did not warrant the reopening 
of Eta. Three other fraternities hazarded entrance in quick succession, 
only to perish. Kappa Alpha founded her Theta chapter in 1870, which 
died two years later. Chi Phi established her Lambda in 1871, only to 
have it perish the next year; ten men were initiated. Phi Delta Theta 
planted Ga. Alpha also in 1871, which also died the next year, after 
twelve men had been initiated.

OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY. 


In the Spring of 1835, the trustees of Midway Seminary, an institution established 
about ten years previous by the Georgia Educational Society, tendered it to the Hope- 
well Presbytery. The otfer was accepted, and measures were taken toward “endow¬ 
ing, organizing and maintaining a college, to be under the exclusive government and 
control of the Presbyterian Church,’’ such institution to he located at Midway, Baldwin 
County. This is the origin of Oglethorpe University. 

A board of twenty-four trustees was appointed, and held its first meeting at Mil- 
ledgeville, Ga., October 21, 1835. Two months later a charter was procured trorn the 
Legislature. One of the provisions of this charter was that a penalty of not less than 
five hundred dollars he imposed on any person vending merchandise of any description 
within a mile and a half of the University. 

An organization was effected November 24, 1836. Rev. C. P. Beman, D. D., was 
■elected president, and Hon. E. A. Nisbet, vice president. The other members of the 
faculty were Rev. Samuel K. Talmage, Rev. C. W. Howard and N. Macou Crawford. 

The University corner-stone was laid March 31, 1837. The main college edifice had 
been commenced the August before, and was completed by July, 1840. It is of brick, 
and is fashioned without and within after the Grecian-Doric order. The edifice has a 
frontage of one hundred and twelve feet. There was on each side of the campus a row 
of one-story dormitories. A large two-story edifice was used for the Academy. 

From the time college opened, January, 1838, the number of students increased rap¬ 
idly. In 1842 fifty were enrolled in the college department and seventy-five in pre¬ 
paratory. The first class was graduated in November, 1839. The collegiate year began 
in January and closed in November. 

In November, 1841, on the resignation of President Beman, Rev. Samuel K. Talmage 
was called to the presidency and remained in office until his death, September 2, 1865. 

In 1864 lack of necessary funds caused suspension of college exercises. Six years 
later the University was removed to Atlanta and resumed operations under the presi¬ 
dency of Dr. David Wills. The institution was again closed in 1872. The board of 
trustees maintains the university organization. The apparatus and other property 
have been returned to Midway and are used by the Talmage High School. 

Within the last year the Presbyterian Church of the South Atlantic States has been 
agitating the endowing and organizing of a new university. If the plan be carried out, 
Atlanta will probably be the site of the school, and, whatever name may be given, the 
school will be little else than the rehabilitated form of Oglethorpe University.

GEORGIA PI 


The annals of Georgia Pi chapter comprise the records of the palmiest 
days of the Georgia Military Institute. The history of the sons of 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon in this chapter embraces much of the honor and 
glory of the alumni of G. M. I. Sigma Alpha Epsilon sprang up here 
in the brightest time of the institute’s career, and the life of the chap¬ 
ter went out with that of the school. 

Georgia Pi was founded February 23, 1857. Its founders were V. H. 
Yaughan, of N. C. Xi and original Mu, and J. S. Lanier, of Tenn. Nu. 
The charter members were: It. S. Camp, J. It. Griffin, J. S. Lanier, J. 
N. Gilmer, C. C. Sanders, S. B. Brooks, and W. H. Dickinson. The 
membership of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was confined to the upper class- 
men ; the chapter was limited to twenty members, and besides a high 
social and moral standard, candidates were required to reach a high 
average in class standing before being eligible to membership. Elec¬ 
tion to the chapter was considered by both faculty and students a high 
honor. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the only organization of its kind at the 
G. M. I. With a body of excellent young men to select from, numbering 
usually from 200 to 250; with no opposition to cause haste in selection 
and, consequently, to precipitate mistakes in judgment; with a strong, 
influential body of charter members, and with the popularity of Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon all over the South, surely, Georgia Pi chapter had noth¬ 
ing to mar her progress or success. 

In many respects the chapter was operated as an honorary society. 
The members were mainly the sons of the wealthy planters of Georgia, 
representing the best blood and brains and culture of that prosperous 
commonwealth. They were imbued with a thorough devotion to the 
chivalry of the old South and, before reaching fully the stature of man¬ 
hood, had the opportunity of showing the bravery and spirit which were 
theirs. 

That opportunity was the severe test of actual warfare. Through the 
first three years of the civil conflict the Cadets were drilled continually 
They were impatiently expecting at any moment to be called into action. 
Text books for once must have been relegated to a back shelf, as the 
youths devoted themselves with eager energy to practical instruction on

Ill 


the Plain of Mars. At last the opportune time came. One night, early 
in May, 1864, the “long roll” was heard through the dormitories, and 
the Cadets sprang from their beds, were marched to the depot and sent 
to the scene of action. The armies had marched from Dalton, and at 
Resaca the Cadet battalion first smelt the smoke of battle. Major Frank 
W. Capers, of Sigma Alpha Epsilon stock, was commander of the “G. M. 
L boys.” Subsequently, with varied fortunes, they were actively engaged 
at West Point, Chattahoochee River, Atlanta, Oconee River, and from there 
on were in bold front to General Sherman all along his “March to the 
Sea.” At the time of the surrender of General Lee the Cadets were 
trained veterans, fresh and keen for further service, and were supposed 
about to join General Johnston in North Carolina. They were mus¬ 
tered out at Augusta, Ga., on the 20th of May, 1865, being the last or¬ 
ganized forces of the Confederacy east of the Mississippi. At disband¬ 
ing it was found their ranks had been terribly decimated by death and 
wounds and the slow, sure dissolution of the camp hospitals. 

The Cadets were sons of brave men and spirited women, and loyally 
did they honor their birthright. Major Capers spoke officially in the 
highest terms of the valor, discipline and spirit of “his boys.” Major 
General Henry C. Wayne, in his report to the State, said of the G. M. 
I. Cadets: “Their gallantry, discipline and skill equal anything I have 
seen in any military service. I cannot speak too highly of these youths 
who go into a fight as cheerfully as they would enter a ball room, and 
with the silence and steadiness of veterans.” 

This is the record of the entire brigade, but more especially does it 
express the chivalry of the Ga. Pi. Shoulder to shoulder, her boys 
stood foremost in the trench and charge as they had on campus and in 
class room. Her mettle is shown in the individual record of George P. 
Harrison, Brigadier General at the age of twenty-two; Colonels C. C. 
Sanders and J. R. Griffin; Adjutant Generals A. C. Powell and G. M. 
Blount; Majors R. S. Camp and W. H. Dickinson; Adjutants J. N. Gil¬ 
mer, R. H. Atkinson and C. H. Solomon; Sergeant Major P. A. Hazle- 
hurst; Captains W. A. Hansell, S. B. Brooks, J. R. Moore, T. S. Paine, 

G. F. Todd, R. M. Wade, Egbert Beall, J. H. Meade, and Francis Fon¬ 
taine; Lieutenants J. R. McCleskey, R. C. Irwin, H. D. Randall, T. M. 
Elyea, Paul Favor, H. C. McKinley, and L. J. Hill; Sergeants J. S. 
Todd and J. W. Reynolds; Ordinance Officer J. E. Shorter; Privates 

H. C. Harper, Samuel Spencer, Giles Goode, M. L. Arnold, G. C. Hol¬ 
combe, J. S. Lanier, S. T. Goetchis, S. M. Wynn, Dave Blount, and 
Lawrence Reab. 

Numbers of the earlier graduates of the chapter entered the Confed¬ 
erate service at various points over the South, achieving equal success 
with the younger brothers of the institute.

General Sherman’s army burning the institute to the ground, it was 
not reopened after suspending when her boys first marched to the fray- 
The social life of Ga. Pi chapter was deservedly high. The S. A. E.’s 
were mostly boys of wealth. They had a chapter hall elegantly fur¬ 
nished and equipped, from pictured walls to velveted floors. The hall 
and its precious contents of record and memento went up in smoke. 
Speaking of the gala times of G. M. I. an old Cadet says: “The annual 
commencements, before the war, were usually attended by people of the 
very best element of social and intellectual standing and attainments, 
and of wealth and worth in every way. It was the rendezvous of the 
elite beaux and belles of the State, and many of the happy families of 
the good people of our State now owe their happiness to the first fer¬ 
vent emotions from pleasant meetings and greetings, and delightful as¬ 
sociations at Marietta, and the ‘old G. M. I.,’ as was the common expres 
sion in speaking of the institute.”

GEORGIA fllLlTARY INSTITUTE. 


The Georgia Military Institute was founded in 1851. Its birth is traceable to 
the commonwealth’s recognized need of an institution of thorough military educa¬ 
tion and training. While, as its charter shows, it was organized as a private institu¬ 
tion, by eleven of the most prominent citizens of the State, from its beginning it as¬ 
sumed all the dignity and respect of a State institution. 

The act “to incorporate the institute, and for other purposes therein named”, was 
approved December 8, 1851. The trustees and faculty were authorized to confer 
the degree of graduate upon such Cadets as were found qualified to receive it, after full 
examination in all the branches of the arts and sciences, and of literature, taught 
there. The course of instruction conformed as nearly as possible to that of West Point. 

In January, 1852, the Legislature passed an act providing for an annual appointment 
by the Governor of six persons as a Board of Visitors, whose duty it was, in conjunc¬ 
tion with a committee of six of the trustees, to establish such rules and regulations as 
they might deem necessary for the government of the Institute. 

In December, 1857, the General Assembly passed an act “ to purchase the Georgia 
Military Institute, and provide for the comfort of Cadets who may be sent there for 
instruction.” This consummated, the G. M. I. became an institution of the State 
and its patronage rapidly increased until it became one of Georgia’s leading schools. 

The Institute was situated on a prominent hill, on the northern limits of Marietta, in 
full view of the beautiful Kennesaw mountains, about twenty miles from Atlanta. Al¬ 
though but seven students were enrolled at the start, the list grew so rapidly that when 
the State assumed control of the school about 250 were in attendance. The Cadets of 
the G. M. I. were the scions of the first and best families of Georgia and adjoining 
States. They were a noble, brave and promising set of young men, as is shown by 
their records in war, and in public and private life since. The Alumni to-day com¬ 
prise many of Dixie’s most honored and useful citizens. 

Although the Cadets were quite youthful, they saw hard service in the war. Dur¬ 
ing the early years of the conflict they drilled continually. The battalion, went from 
the Institute into active service in May, 1864. It was among the most valuable of 
Georgia’s trained soldiery. In return for cradling troops for the Confederacy and the 
saucy assaults his army had received from the G. M. I. Cadets, General Sherman 
burned the Institute to the ground. The only picture extant of the old buildings is 
a drawing made by a Union soldier, a Polander, just before the destruction and given 
to the mother of one of the Cadets. 

In 1891 an attempt was made by the ex-Cadets living in Atlanta to revive the old G. 
M. I. A military institute, called the Moreland Park Academy, was offered to them as 
a nucleus. The offer was accepted and the proper steps taken to enlist for the enter¬ 
prise influential friends to carry on its development. The academy was located in a 
suburb of Atlanta. Considerable ground and money has already been contributed for 
the erection of splendid buildings, and it is possible that, ere long, the old Georgia Mili¬ 
tary Institute will again achieve at least some of its former success and glory.

The idea of founding a chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the Georgia 
Institute of Technology was conceived in the fall of 1889. Mr. George 
Freeman, of Savannah, entered the college in October, 1889, joining the 
class of 1892. Mr. Freeman’s two brothers, Henry and Davis Freeman, 
alumni of Ga. Beta, had fully imbued him with their own affection for 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and he asked them to make application for a 
charter at the next Convention, which was to be held at Charlotte, N. 
C., Dec. 17, 1889. They did as requested and a charter was granted, 
Bryan C. Collier, of Ga. Beta, W. G. Harrison, of Ala. Alpha Mu, and 
Y. W. Jones, of Ga. Psi, being appointed to see to the establishment of 
the chapter. 

About Feb. 1, 1890, Bro. Collier entered into a correspondence with 
Bro. George Freeman, which finally resulted in the establishment of the 
chapter. 

On Saturday, March 8, 1890, Bro. Collier came over from Athens and 
Bro. Y. W. Jones from Macon, and with the assistance of Bros. Ben- 
Hill Thompson, Wilmer M. Moore, Eugene Mitchell, and Pyromis H. 
Bell, Atlanta Alumni of Ga. Beta, initiated the men selected by Bro. 
Freeman for the chapter. The initiation took place in the reading room 
of the “Kimball” at four o’clock Saturday afternoon, March 8. The 
charter members numbered eight, Messrs. George Freeman, Gilham 
Hoyle Morrow and Jam^s Weldon Bridge, being initiated at the “Kim¬ 
ball,” and William Ross Harper, Edmund Fenwick Jackson, George 
Lewis Pratt, and Rogers Waddell Davis, two days later in the Chemical 
Lecture-room at the College, while Edwin Davis Sheffield “ rode the 
goat ” in the wood on the campus, March 11. One more man was in¬ 
itiated before the close of the term, William Moore Draper. 

The chapter began its life under very unfavorable circumstances and 
her prospects were at times very gloomy. Alpha Tau Omega had a 
large chapter at the time of S.<* A. E.’s entrance and had some very in¬ 
fluential men. Their chapter had secured the only room in the college 
buildings not used by the-college. As the “Sigs” could get no hall, 
their first meetings were held in the recitation rooms. Later they met 
at the homes of some of our loyal Atlanta “Sigs.” Phi will ever re-

member with feelings of gratitude the kindness of some of the parents 
of the Atlanta boys, their kind hospitality, their cordial welcome and 
dainty refreshments. 

The chapter began its second term with eight names on its roll. The 
boys were full of enthusiasm for S. A. E., but were not well versed in 
fraternity matters; and the prospect was gloomy. Early in the fall 
some of Atlanta’s enthusiastic Alumni came to their relief, and pro¬ 
posed to head a subscription to the Alumni asking for money with 
which to furnish a hall. Their suggestion was acted upon, and by the 
middle of March there was in hand sufficient money to furnish a hall 
elegantly. 

With the opening of spring came new life and vigor. The hopes and 
prospects of the chapter brightened. Just at this critical period the 
chapter sustained a severe loss. Thomas Neal Keely was taken from 
them. He was a noble fellow, with a mind of superior strength and abil¬ 
ity, and a nature that endeared him to all who knew him. He was in¬ 
jured while playing baseball, and died from the effect of the injuries, 
April 24, 1891. 

Three men were initiated by the chapter during the term. At the 
opening of the next term six of the old men answered at the first roll 
call, two more returning at the beginning of the spring term. The 
chapter had been dominated up to this time by a spirit of extreme con¬ 
servatism, but the error of this was seen, and a more liberal policy in¬ 
stituted. During the fall, the Alumni of the city several times enter¬ 
tained the chapter at elegant banquets. Eight royal times were these, 
and bright spots in the history of Phi. Eight names were added to the 
roll during the term, but at the end of the year the chapter lost its first 
men by graduation, George Freeman and James Weldon Bridge, 
both charter members. At the opening of the year ’92-3, the chapter 
changed its headquarters. It now occupies th#rooms of the Knights 
of Pythias. During the year it has gained five new members. The 
original chapter letter was Tau. With the consent of the Supreme 
Council, this was discarded, and Phi adopted in ’92.

GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY. 


The Georgia School of Technology is a department of the University of 
Georgia. In conformity with an act of the Georgia Legislature, this institution was 
organized and opened, October 3, 1888. The leading object of the school is to teach the 
principles of science, especially those which relate to the mechanical and industrial 
arts. 

The school occupies a beautiful site on a campus of nine acres in the northern por ■ 
tion of the city. 

The academic building is a splendid edifice, one hundred and twenty feet deep and 
five stories high. It is)of brick trimmed with marble. The work shops are also of brick, 
two hundred and eighty feet long by eighty wide, and are beautifully designed with 
reference to their use. This department contains wood shops, machine shops and 
foundries. On the 21st of April, 1892, the shops were destroyed by fire. They have, 
however, been rebuilt, enlarged and equipped with the latest improved machinery. The 
shops of the institution have won an enviable reputation for the beauty and excellence 
of their work. 

The school offers an education of high grade, founded on the mathematics, the En¬ 
glish language, physical science and drawing. 

The Department of Mathematics and Civil Engineering is equipped with all neces¬ 
sary instruments of the finest quality. The course in this department is thorough and 
complete. 

The Department of English includes the study of English prose, the masterpieces of 
the language, together with original speeches and essays. 

The course in Chemistry occupies two years. It includes general chemistry and lec¬ 
tures on technical subjects. The department occupies the third floor of the academic 
building. The lecture room is capable of seating two hundred students. 

All instruction in the Department of Mechanical Engineering is based upon strictly 
utilitarian lines. In connection with this department there is a laboratory fitted up 
with various engineering appliances, supplied with motive power by dynamos. 

In the Department of Physics every facility is offered the student to acquire a thor¬ 
ough knowledge. The department is equipped with twenty thousand dollars’ worth 
of apparatus. Constant reference is had to the practical applications of the science. 
The course is supplemented by original investigations in the laboratory. 

Geology is studied in its lithological, historical and dynamical features. 

In the Department of Mineralogy prominence is given to the deposits of minerals in 
Georgia. 

Fifteen hours a week are devoted to work in the Mechanical shops. The work con¬ 
sists in pattern and cabinet making, iron and brass casting, together with machine de¬ 
signing and building. 

The regular degree conferred is that of “Bachelor of Science in Mechanical En¬ 
gineering.” The faculty consists of thirteen members, with instructors under them. 
The control of the school is under a board of five citizens of the State, appointed by 
the Governor, and known as the “Commission on the School of Technology.”

GEORGIA PSI 


For many years the faculty and trustees of Mercer University were 
strongly opposed to fraternities. In 1854, the first secret society, styled 
Kappa Alpha—distinct from the present Kappa Alpha—was organized, 
but after two years of secret meetings, it was discovered and suppressed 
by the trustees. But in ’69, opposition to fraternities was withdrawn 
and the next year Sigma Alpha Epsilon established Georgia Psi with T. 
F. Stubbs, J. P. Jones and W. M. Jordan as charter members. 

Psi at once became a strong chapter. A writer in the “ Record ” 
speaks of her as “ that old bulwark of the fraternity.” So it was a matter 
of great astonishment when, in a letter to the Grand Chapter dated May 
24, 1884, she announced her intention of returning her charter. Bro. W. 
C. Bunn in this letter stated that the chapter had nine good men, but 
that owing to its rapid decline none of them were expecting to return to 
the University. He says, “ we think it is better to suspend while we 
can do so leaving an honorable name. If we hold on another year, we 
will die anyway.” 

The fraternity at large, however, could by no means agree with the 
members of Psi, and when the University re-opened in the fall, Georgia 
Beta immediately took steps toward re-organizing the chapter. Brothers 
Freeman, Wooten, Mell, Cartwell and Osborne, of Beta, in company with 
R. S. Patillo of Epsilon, went to Macon, resolved to stay until Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon’s banner should float over Mercer as proudly as ever. At 
first their chances looked small indeed. Finally, however,’they won and 
initiated Bros. Z. H. Clark and Fernando DeC. McConnell, and soon 
after they secured Bros. Edgar S. and E. Walker Freeman, of Macon. 

While they were at this work Bro. S. Y. Jamison, of S. C., Phi came 
to Mercer, as a student and joined earnestly in the good work. 

Thus Georgia Psi was re-established with five members. Brother 
Jamison left the University before the end of the term; but the chapter 
prospered and grew until it has even exceeded its former proportions. 
The wisdom of the general fraternity has been vindicated; for Mercer 
University has been so far from declining, that it is now regarded as one 
of the four first-class institutions of the State. 

There have been eight fraternities at Mercer. First, was the sub rosa 
Kappa Alpha in ’54; then the present Kappa Alpha in ’69. Sigma

Alpha Epsilon came December 1, 1870; and was followed by Phi Delta 
Theta, ’71; Kappa Alpha, ’73; Kappa Sigma, ’75; Alpha Tan Omega, 
’79, and Sigma Nu, ’84. Chi Phi’s chapter died in ’81, and that of Kappa 
Sigma in ’77. 

The relations between the fraternities at Mercer have been mostly of 
a friendly character, and fraternity life there has been good, except that 
it has been too much marred by political combinations.

MERCER UNIVERSITY. 


Mercer University, the Baptist College of Georgia, had its origin in Mercer Insti¬ 
tute established by the Georgia Baptist Convention in 1833, seven miles north of Greens¬ 
boro in Greene Co., Ga. 

The Institute was established by money raised by the Convention, together with 
$25,000.00 bequeathed it by Deacon Josiah Penfield, of Savannah, Ga. It was named 
Mercer Institute after Rev. Jesse Mercer, and its site was called Penfield, in honor of 
Mr. Penfield mentioned above. 

The primary object of the school was that it should be a “Classical and Theological 
School, which shall unite agricultural labor with study, and be opened for those only 
preparing for the ministry,” but the restriction to ministerial students was removed in 
1832. The Manual Labor Department was continued till 1844, when it was suspended, 
not having accomplished the object for which it was established. 

The Institute was opened in 1833 with thirty-nine students, Rev. B. M. Sanders be¬ 
ing principal. In ’37, the institution underwent a radical change ; the Central Bap¬ 
tist Association raised $20,000.00 for the establishment of a chair of “Languages and 
Sacred Literature,” and the name of the school was changed from Mercer Institute to 
Mercer University. A charter for the University was obtained in December, 1837. 

The first class, numbering only three, graduated from the University in 1841. The 
Theological Department was fully organized in 1845, but was continued in its entirety 
through only three years. The University prospered, gradually increasing its funds 
and number of students till the war, the enrollment for 1860 being 160. The institu¬ 
tion was never entirely suspended during the war, and gave free instruction to disabled 
Confederate soldiers wishing to improve their time. 

In 1870 the University was moved to Macon, Ga., which city gave it $100,000.00 in 
bonds, and a beautiful site on Fattnall Square. A large and handsome four-story build¬ 
ing was erected and the University was formally opened in Macon in 1871. 

In 1873 a Law Department was added to the institution. In 1891 another large build¬ 
ing, made necessary by the increasing number of students, was erected. In the same 
year Mr. Johon D. Rockefeller, of New York, gave $10,000.00 to Mercer on condition 
that the Baptists of Georgia should raise $40,000.00, thus adding $50,000.00 to the en¬ 
dowment. 

Mercer has had seven presidents, B. M. Sanders, Otis Smith, John L. Dagg, N. M. 
Crawford, Henry H. Tucker, Archibald J. Battle and G. A. Nunnally.

INDIANA ALPHA 


In the year 1890, a correspondence began between the members of 
Michigan Alpha and some students at Franklin College, which terminated 
in the Franklin boys asking for a charter for a chapter of Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon. The request was granted, and on Feb. 10, 1892, E. D. McCaf- 
ferty and C. A. Dungan, both of Mich. Alpha, added to the chapter roll 
chapter Indiana Alpha. 

There were eleven charter members: J. M. Berryhill, C. D. Hazel ton, 
H. W. Davis, J. M. Batterton, Hugh Miller, J. H. Howard, J. A. Hill, 
F. C. Whitcomb, J. V. Oliver, Edker Burton, and F. D. Johnston. This 
number included representatives from every class in the collegiate de¬ 
partment. There has been but one addition since the establishment of 
the chapter. W. C. Yale had the honor of being Alpha’s first initiate. 

Indiana Alpha has not been established long enough to have made 
history, but she has already made herself felt at the College. Her men 
stand high, both socially and intellectually, and have taken high places 
in all the public contests held since her establishment. The men have 
the respect of the faculty, and of all classes of students, whether “barbs” 
or “frats.” 

The men realize that the benefit they receive from fraternity will de¬ 
pend largely upon what they themselves make the local chapter, and 
it is their purpose to make it a true brotherhood. Yet with all their 
devotion to the local chapter, every member of Indiana Alpha is enthu¬ 
siastically loyal to the interests of the general fraternity, and is resolved 
to do his part to place Sigma Alpha Epsilon far in advance of all rival 
Greeks. The success of Alpha is insured so long as present conditions 
continue. There is good material in abundance, and the number of good 
men coming to Franklin is yearly increasing. The once strong anti- 
fraternity spirit is rapidly decaying, and the prospects are that before 
many years active opposition to fraternities will be a thing of the past. 

The chapter has lost but two men by graduation, so that for several 
years yet will have the helpful influence of its founders. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Franklin has as a rival a strong chapter of 
Phi Delta Theta, established in 1860. There is also a chapter of the 
Pi Beta Phi sorority. Delta Tau Delta was established here in 1871, 
but dropped out in 1883. Kappa Kappa Gamma was here from 1879 to 
1887. There was for a time a flourishing local fraternity in the college, 
but it finally disbanded and its membership, for the most part, was ab¬ 
sorbed into Phi Delta Theta.

FRANKLIN COLLEGE. 


Franklin College was founded in 1834, by a number of Baptist pastors and others 
who were interested in higher education. As is usual when a new enterprise is at¬ 
tempted, these men met with opposition. This opposition became so decided that many 
were expelled from their churches because they advocated the cause of higher educa¬ 
tion. But, true to their purpose, they were only inspired to greater effort by this an¬ 
tagonism, and soon found followers in various parts of the State. The growth of the 
institution was slow, and less ardent men, perhaps, would have deserted the cause. 
Difficulties sprang up on every hand. The Baptists of the State had no idea of the ex¬ 
penses of a college and were not educated to the point of giving freely, and, notwith¬ 
standing the tact that the institution began with a single instructor, the amount of 
money raised was scarcely sufficient to pay the expenses. But the great benefit to be 
derived from a college was becoming evident, and aid was more easily obtained. Soon 
an endowment movement was started and the first chair in Franklin College was estab¬ 
lished a few years after the founding of the institution. The faculty continued to grow, 
as did the endowment, until to-day there are thirteen members, and the endowment 
reaches about three hundred thousand dollars. 

It is interesting to follow the growth of the college in detail. The first building was 
a one-story frame house twenty-six by thirty-eight feet. The original name of the 
school was “ The Indiana Baptist Manual Labor Institute,” and at that time no name 
was more appropriate, for the students lived and studied in log huts, and paid their ex¬ 
penses by chopping cord wood and making barrels. The college charter was obtained 
in 1844. 

The college in its present prosperous condition is largely the fruition of the labors of 
the present officers. The assets have been more than quadrupled, and all the depart¬ 
ments have undergone complete renovation. The faculty is composed of able ed¬ 
ucators, selected from graduates of the leading institutions of the country. The col¬ 
lege confines itself strictly to non-professional work, never setting up any claim to 
university rank. 

Early in its existence, Franklin College took for its motto the words “Christianity 
and Culture.” That it has lived true to its motto is proved by its present condition. 
No institution can boast of a higher moral tone nor a higher degree of proficiency in 
all it undertakes. Its graduates are found in all parts of the country and with rare ex¬ 
ceptions are useful men and Avomen. 

Franklin was the first Indiana college to open its doors to young ladies, the wisdom 
of which is no longer questioned. 

Three courses are offered : The Classical, the Scientific and the Philosophical. 

William T. Stott, D. D., the president, is a graduate of the institution, having been 
a member of the famous class of ’61, in which were Hon. T. J. Morgan, present Indian 
Commissioner, and Judge G. W. Grubbs. Dr. Stott is also a graduate of Rochester 
Theological Seminary. 

The students number nearly three hundred. 

The college has been greatly strengthened this year by the addition of about $80,000 
to the endowment fund.

INDIANA BETA. 


Indiana Beta was established May 18, 1893. For some time previous, 
a movement had been on foot to secure a chapter of Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon in Purdue. Harold Ulmer Wallace, of the class of ’94, opened 
communication with C. D. Hazelton, of Indiana Alpha, in regard to 
the project, and, as a result, Beta was ushered into existence. On the 
night of May 18, Messrs. Hazelton, Hill and Davis, of Alpha, initiated 
three of the men of Purdue University into the mysteries of Greek 
fraternity life. These were H. N. Wallace, Burt German and Harry B. 
Rust. For a short while the chapter was “ sub rosa,” but in the afternoon 
of June 1st, permission was received from the faculty to “go abroad.” 
The news was hailed with delight, but, before making it public that a 
new fraternity had been organized, it was deemed advisable to muster 
re-enforcements. That same night three more men were ushered into 
Sigma—Messrs. Jeffries, Crane and Kipp. The college community was 
surprised on the following morning to see six staunch Sigs flaunting the 
“royal purple and old gold.” Here were Sigma Alpha Epsilon pins, 
colors, letter-heads—all as if having come by miracle. 

Purdue is an institution well adapted for fraternity life. Beta was 
initiated too near the close of the term to take a very active part in 
college matters. Her beginning is auspicious, and her men are the kind 
that make things move. They will be back to the University in full force 
at the opening of the coming session, and will ably represent Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon’s interests in this institution. 

Beta meets five other fraternities: Delta Delta chapter of Sigma Chi 
organized Jan. 28, 1875; Chi, of Kappa Sigma, 1885; Beta Zeta, of 
Sigma Nu, 1892; Zeta, of Phi Delta Theta; and Alpha, of Tau Beta Pi.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY. 


Purdue University had its origin in an act of Congress of July 2, 1862. In I860,, 
the National Government had at its disposal, 1,400,000,000 acres of public land. The 
idea had been originated to donate part of this land to the States, to be devoted to agri¬ 
cultural education. As early as 1859, Congress passed a bill granting to each Senator 
and Representative 20,000 acres of land for this purpose. For constitutional reasons. 
President Buchanan vetoed the bill. The same bill, except that the amount was raised 
to 30,000 acres, was introduced in the Senate in 1862, passed both Houses, and was 
signed by President Lincoln, July 2, 1862. Indiana accepted this grant March 6, 1865, 
and organized a board known as “ The Trustees of the Indiana Agricultural College.” 
This board received as its share of the grant 390,000 acres, and two years later sold the 
land for $212,238.50, which fund was soon increased to $340,000. 

In 1869 the Legislature accepted the munificent gift of $150,000 from Mr. John 
Purdue, of Lafayette, and West Lafayette was fixed as the site of the new institution, 
which received the name of Purdue University. The campus consists of 187 acres. 

In 1870 the board of trustees was re-organized, and was made to consist of nine mem¬ 
bers in place of five as originally. 

On September 17,1874, the University was formally opened. Two years before this 
time, Prof. Richard Owen was elected president, but, owing to delay in opening, he re¬ 
signed, and was succeeded by Prof. A. C. Shortridge, who, in turn, resigned in Decem¬ 
ber, 1875. Ex-Commissioner of the Ohio public schools, Dr. E. E. White, was the next 
president, serving from 1876 to 1883, when he was succeeded by the present incumbent, 
James H. Smart, LL. D. 

There are seven departments of the University : the School of Mechanical Engineer¬ 
ing, School of Civil Engineering, School of Electrical Engineering, School of Agriculture, 
School of Science, School of Pharmacy, and the Preparatory Department. 

At present the faculty is composed of tvfenty-six professors and nineteen instructors. 
About 700 students are enrolled. The material equipment is superb. There are 
eighteen buildings belonging to the University. An Engineering Building, which has 
floor-space of more than one acre, has lately been completed. Its extreme limits are 
388 feet by 234 feet. 

The laboratories are fully furnished with the most modern equipments. In the me¬ 
chanical engineering laboratory is a one hundred horse power, triple-expansion steam 
engine, constructed especially for this laboratory. There are thirteen other steam 
engines m this laboratory, one of which is a high-speed passenger locomotive. It weighs 
85,000 pounds, and is so mounted that its action can be noted when run at any rate of 
speed or drawing any load. 

Admission to the University is determined by examination or by certificate from 
some commissioned high school. It being a State institution, tuition is free to residents 
of the State.

IOWA SIGMA. 


The local organization which led to the establishment of Iowa Sigma 
was founded March 3, 1888, by J. P. Morley and W. W. Wood. A con¬ 
stitution and code of laws was adopted, and during the next two weeks, 
five new members were added, two of whom were members of the Senior 
class. 

Circumstances at Simpson did not seem to justify the establishment 
of a new Greek letter fraternity. There was but one college building, 
and only about 250 students in attendance. Already seven fraternities 
had chapters there. Psi chapter of Delta Tau Delta had existed since 
1873, and had all the prestige long-standing can give. Phi Kappa Psi’s 
Delta chapter had been founded in 1871, and was a strong chapter. 
Beta Alpha chapter of Alpha Tau Omega was on a firm basis. There 
were four ladies’ fraternities: Delta Deuteron chapter of Delta Delta 
Delta; Beta; of Pi Beta Phi; Theta, of Kappa Alpha Theta; andOmicron, 
of Kappa Kappa Sigma. The Greeks of the college were active, and 
there seemed but little room for another chapter. 

Nevertheless the local organization determined to hazard the estab¬ 
lishment of another Greek fraternity, and applied to Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon for membership. On May 25, 1889, E. L. McMillan, of Ohio 
Sigma, duly initiated the members of the society into the sacred myste¬ 
ries of S. A. E. Since that time Sigma has had a marked degree of 
prosperity. In succession, Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa 
Alpha Theta, and Kappa Kappa Sigma, dropped out, leaving but two 
fraternities and two sororities in the institution. 

Sigma has already outgrown the hall it first occupied. She is now 
established in a suite of rooms fitted up in elegant fashion. Heretofore 
her average membership has been about ten, but with the increasing 
number of students, the average will be raised. In the selection of 
members, great care is exercised, and Sigma is in a fair way to become 
a power in the fraternity world.

SIHPSON COLLEGE. 


‘ ‘Old Blue Bird Seminary, ’ ’ the predecessor of Simpson College, was built in 1861 by 
the citizens of Indianola. For six years it continued under individual management. 
In 1867 the founders offered the management of the institution to the Des Moines Con¬ 
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The trust was accepted and the school at 
once raised to the grade of a College. The standard has since been raised until its 
eight year course offers a curriculum equal to that of any collegiate institution in the 
State. 

Dr. S. M. Vernon was the first president. He was succeeded one year later by Dr. 
Alexander Burns. In 1870 the present chapel was erected, and in the same year “ Old 
Blue Bird ” was destroyed by a storm. A liberal endowment fund was soon after pro¬ 
vided, but in the financial panic of 1873 this fund was so decreased as to be inadequate 
to meet the demand upon it, and as a result t^ere was a constantly increasing debt. 

In 1878 Dr. Burns resigned, and Rev. T. S. Berry, A. M., B. D., was elected to the 
presidency. For two years the work was carried on under the greatest difficulties. 
These difficulties continued until the death of President Berry in 1880. In the follow¬ 
ing Spring Dr. E. L. Parks was elected president and at once began to work to better 
the financial condition of the school. How well he succeeded the standing of the 
school to-day is evidence. Dr. Parks was succeeded in 1886 by Dr. Wm. D. Hamilton, 
who admirably furthered the prosperity of the college until he was succeeded by Rev. 
E. M. Holmes, B. D., in 1889. In 1892, on the resignation of President Holmes, Rev. 
Fletcher Brown, B. D., was made president. But while these changes were going on 
the college was prospering in other ways. The attendance has largely increased until 
to-day it is about 500. Two more buildings grace the campus : Science Hall, a mas¬ 
sive four-story brick building, containing the laboratory, the museum, library, music 
and art rooms ; and Ladies’ Hall, a large brick hall with ample accommodations for all 
the ladies in attendance.

Kentucky Alpha was a chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon built on a 
foundation of nothing but over sanguine hopes. 

Forest Academy came under the control of an alumunus of Kentucky 
Chi, Rev. Jasper Newton Current, in 1876. He obtained for it a colle¬ 
giate charter and raised its curriculum to the standard of the collegiate 
courses in Liberal Arts, evidently intending to make it an institution of 
the highest academic grade. 

Fully believing that the brightest hopes of Bro. Current would be 
realized in his institution, the men of Chapter Chi were pleased with 
the idea of organizing a chapter of his fraternity in their brother’s 
school. Accordingly, Bros. W. F. Kirkbride and Ben. F. Farmer went 
to Anchorage to stand sponsors for a new chapter there. 

Six men were found among the students desirable and willing to en¬ 
ter the fraternity. They were J. W. Booth, C. W. Gilmore, J. D. Grover, 
H. B* Hundly, and Lilbon Logan Carlisle and his brother, William Kin- 
kead Carlisle, sons of Hon. John G. Carlisle. 

In addition to these men, the chapter enrolled one honorary member, 
Eugene Tafel,then Professor of Modern Languages in Forest Academy, 
and two affiliates, Bros. Current and Kirkbride. 

This completes the list of Kentucky Alpha, for Bro. Current having 
found it expedient to dispose of the school, it passed from his hands, 
and under the new management was degraded to a secondary institu¬ 
tion ; whereupon the founders of the chapter petitioned for the recall 
of its charter, and the members left Anchorage to pursue their studies 
in other institutions. 

Thus Kentucky Alpha was disbanded in June, 1878, after an existence 
of not quite a year.

KENTUCKY EPSILON. 


In January, 1885, application was made to tlie Grand Chapter, Tenn. 
Omega, by W. O. Cutliff, of Tenn. Zeta, for a charter for a chapter of 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon to be established in South Kentucky College, 
Hopkinsville. As yet no fraternities were in South Kentucky College, 
and the institution being in a prosperous condition, it was considered de¬ 
sirable that a chapter be founded. The project was consummated Thurs¬ 
day evening, Eeb. 5, 1885, when Messrs. Cutliff, Morris and Williams, 
all of Tenn. Zeta, initiated five charter members. These were Clarence 
Anderson, Jr., John P. Burnett, Logan Feland, Augustus O. Stanley, 
and A. W. Wood. Immediately after the initiatory services were con¬ 
cluded a chapter meeting was held and officers elected. Anderson was 
elected E. A., and Feland E. C. and E. D. A. The other officers were, 
Burnett, E. R., Stanley, E. T., and Wood,E. Ch. and E. W. 

At first the new chapter flourished. Soon four additional members 
were enrolled: T. M. Metcalfe, F. M. Stites, Will. S. Withers, and Geo. 
F. Campbell. 

Most of the members of Epsilon were resident students and were men 
of wealth and influence, and the chapter had considerable prestige. 
But soon some of the Sigs left college and no new ones were initiated 
to take their place. Some went to other colleges, some entered busi¬ 
ness, so that at the opening of college in 1887 only two men answered 
to Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s roll call. Soon the chapter was disbanded 
and has not been reorganized.

SOUTH KENTUCKY COLLEGE. 


South Kentucky College is located at Hopkinsville, Ky. The town has about 
6,000 inhabitants, and is one of the most promising towns in the State. It is on the 
St. Louis and Southeastern division of the L. andN. Kailroad, midway between Evans¬ 
ville, Ind., and Nashville, Tenn. The College was established in 1850, and grew rapidly 
until it was one of the most flourishing institutions in that section of the country. 

The buildings were well adapted to their various purposes. In 1884, the main 
one was destroyed by fire. For a time, college work had to be suspended. The 
trustees at once determined to rebuild, and funds were procured for that purpose. By 
September, 1885, a new building, much superior to the old, was completed. The College 
re-opened with about two hundred students in attendance. 

The faculty consists of about fifteen members. Three four-year courses are provided 
for and lead to degrees. The Classical course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, 
includes a full course in Mathematics, Science, History, Philosophy, and Literature. 
The Scientific course, leading to the degree, B. S., is thorough ; the Latin and Greek 
may be omitted, and French and German taken in place. The course in Civil Engi¬ 
neering prepares for work in the departments of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engi¬ 
neering. 

In addition to these courses there is a ladies’ course, covering three years’ work, which 
leads to a certificate. Special attention is given those students preparing for the pro¬ 
fession of teaching. Provision is made for a full commercial course, also. 

Connected with the College is a Military Department, under the control of a skilled 
military professor. Special attention is given to preparing students for admission to 
West Point and other military academies.

KENTUCKY IOTA 


In the Spring of 1858, in the month of May, just as the flowers began 
to peep forth from their winter homes and freight the gentle zephyrs 
with their rich perfume, Kentucky Iota, of Bethel College, opened her 
eyes on the light for the first time. 

The charter members were, R. E. Atkinson, Clay Ewing, Y. A. Gar¬ 
nett, J. AY. Gillam, C. AY. Harper, George AY Owens, R. C. Whitfield, R. 
R. Allen, W. F. Bell, George T. Dismukes, W. A. Elliot. 

Y. A. Garnett was the moving spirit in the organization of the chapter, 
through John M. Pendleton, of Union University, Murfresboro, Tenn. 

Having heard of the chapter at Union University through his friend 
and relative, John M. Pendleton, Mr. Garnett gathered around him his 
ten colleagues, mentioned as charter members, and having inspired them 
with his plans, they applied for admittance into the brotherhood of 
Sigma Alpha Episilon, which was granted. 

With these eleven men she entered on her career which was so soon 
to be blighted by the great civil struggle of our nation. All of the 
charter members espoused the Southern cause and some sealed their 
devotion with their life blood. Of the history of the chapter from its 
organization to its death by the war, but little is known. 

The war came on and Bethel College, like great many other South¬ 
ern institutions, was forced to suspend, and when the great struggle 
was over and the institution reopened, not a man was re-enrolled on the 
college register who had worn the colors of S. A. E. before the war 
began. 

Kentucky Iota slumbered for a quarter of a century, undisturbed and 
without any effort being made to bring her again into the active list. 

But, on Saturday night, Nov. 17, 1888, through the praiseworthy 
efforts of Bro. H. S. Bunting, of Tenn. Zeta, the chapter was re¬ 
organized. 

W. AY. Griffin was first initiated and soon the names of R. K. Ryland, 
E. T. Mobberly, E. A. Montague, and Prof. AY. S. Ryland, D. D., Presi¬ 
dent of the College, were added to the list of charter members. A. J. 
Brewer and E. A. Wohlbold were also initiated into the fraternity shortly 
afterward.

With these staunch members who had pledged themselves to promote 
the interest of S. A. E., Iota started again, with Bro. Griffin as E. A. 
Since this time the chapter has progressed and flourished with ever- 
increasing vigor. When the chapter was first revived it met in one of the 
Literary society halls, but now the boys have obtained and handsomely 
furnished one of the rooms of the College. 

Iota’s present standing is altogether in keeping with the general 
reputation of the order, and it can be truly asserted that the chapter 
can be safely compared with any band of “Greeks” in this Southern 
country. 

Iota’s rivals are the Phi Nu’s Gamma Delta, founded in ’56, and Sigma 
Nu’s Omicron, founded in ’84. There was also in ’72 a chapter of Alpha 
Tau Omega. 

The fraternities of Bussellville are on excellent terms.

BETHEL COLLEGE. 


Bethel College is pleasantly situated in Russellville, Logan county, Ky., one of 
the oldest towns in the State. 

The enterprise was initiated in September, 1849. The main Hall was erected and the 
institution formally opened January 3, 1854, as Bethel High School. Under the man¬ 
agement of Mr. B. T. Blewitt, principal, the school prospered greatly, and owing to the 
evident public demand for collegiate instruction, a new charter was obtained and the 
institution entered on its career as a College in the Fall of 1856. 

President Blewitt continued in charge of the College, with great success, until the 
Summer of 1861, when, owing to the Civil War, operations were suspended until Sep¬ 
tember, 1863. 

The College was then re-opened by Rev. George Hunt, as president, who, under many 
discouragements, re-organized the College and gave it a new impetus. 

President Hunt was succeeded in September, 1864, by Prof. J. W. Rust. As a result 
of his remarkable energy and sound, practical sense, the College grew in members and 
influence until, from impaired health, he was compelled to resign, Feb. 1, 1868. 

Noah K. Davis, S. S. D., was then elected president. The system of instruction and 
the course of study were enlarged and improved by him, and they mainly prevail in the 
College at the present time. In 1872, the president’s house was built at a cost of $7,000. 
In 1873, President Davis resigned, to take the chair of Moral Philosophy in the Univer¬ 
sity of Virginia, and was succeeded by Prof. Leslie Waggener, as chairman of the fac¬ 
ulty. In 1876-7, the N. Long Hall was erected at a cost of $20,000, “ to furnish board 
to students at reduced rates.” 

Prof. Waggener was elected president in June, 1877, which position he held with 
honor to himself and credit to the College until June, 1883, when he resigned to accept 
the Chair of English Literature and History in the University of Texas. 

In June, 1883, Prof. Jas. H. Frequa, an alumnus of Jhe College, and Prof, of Latin 
and Greek, was made chairman of the faculty. During his administration the pat¬ 
ronage of the College increased considerably. 

Declining to serve longer, he relinquished the chairmanship, June, 1887. Prof. W. 
S. Ryland was chosen to the vacancy and in June, 1889, was elected president. In 
1892, through the liberality and energy of some philanthropic men and women a library 
costing $12,000 was purchased, and furnished with $5,000 worth of books iu addition to 
its stock already on hand. The College is growing year by year in proficiency, power 
and influence, and is accomplishing a great and needed work in dispensing light and 
knowlege to bless not only this, but all coming generations.

KENTUCKY KAPPA 


The first meeting of Kentucky Kappa was held on the morning of 
the 4th of March, 1882, in the room of Eros. Welsh and Denny, at Cen¬ 
tral University, Richmond, Ky. Then were initiated the seven charter 
members, D. A. Bedinger, H. W. Bright, Samuel Cabell Denny, William 
Hampden Morton, Edward Thomas, J. W. McClure, and Lewis A. 
Gaines. These with Bro. Chas. W. Welch, who affiliated with Kappa, 
made eight members. No more were initiated that term. The Record 
correspondent remarked—“We have the best and most studious boys in 
college. As we have eight members, we think that is enough.” 

The credit of founding Kentucky Kappa belongs to Bro. Chas. W. 
Welch. He it was who obtained the charter from the Grand Chapter 
and who pledged the initiates. 

At the beginning of the session of ’82-3, five of Kappa’s members re¬ 
turned, and five new men were initiated during the year. 

The faculty of Central University was at first hostile to fraternities, 
and it was not until the session of ’83-4, that permission was granted the 
Greek letter societies to enter the institution, and then only after satis¬ 
fying the faculty of the legitimacy of their objects and methods. This 
condition Sigma Alpha Epsilon was easily able to fulfill, and the boys of 
Kappa donned the colors of the fraternity. From ’86-8, Kappa was Grand 
Chapter of Province D, and continued to flourish until ’89. This year a 
writer says, “ was very trying on the Greeks at Central because of the 
lack of good material in the college. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha 
Tau Omega ceased to be active chapters.” But Kappa never returned 
her charter. 

In September, 1891, Central University opened with brighter pros¬ 
pects than it had ever had before, and the almuni residents in Richmond 
deemed it a favorable opportunity to replant the standard of Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon. Consequently Bro. Lacy L. Bright set himself to the 
task of selecting a worthy band of candidates. He found six good men 
who were “glad of an opportunity of wearing the purple and gold” 
J. H. Chandler, S. G. Williams, A. McKibben, H. J. Kirby, C. L. Nourse, 
A. I. Hargett, and T. W. Mourning. These men were initiated on the 
night of the 9th of September, 1891, Bros. Lacy L. Bright, S. Y. White, 
and O. A. Kennedy,M. D., of the fraters in urbe, assisting in the initiation. 

(165)

KENTUCKY KAPPA. 


Having- so many prominent almuni resident in Richmond, the re¬ 
quickened chapter enjoyed immediately a large measure of social pleas¬ 
ure and success that it has not been backward in cultivating. 

The meetings, for a time, were held in the office of Dr. Kennedy, 
until a good hall was secured in the business portion of the city, which 
is now very comfortably furnished. 

During the session of ’91-2, four more members came into the chapter, 
but the circle was saddened by the death of one of its brightest and 
most faithful members, Bro, T. W. Mourning. 

The fall of ’92 witnessed the return of seven of Kappa’s members, 
and a few weeks of good work added four of the new men to their num¬ 
ber. 

Kappa’s members rank well in college; and in athletics and all other 
matters pertaining to college life, they take a prominent part. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the first fraternity to enter Central Univer¬ 
sity. It was followed by Sigma Nu and Beta Theta Pi in ’83. 

That same year, there arose a dissension in the ranks of Beta Theta 
Pi, and the chapter went to pieces. One faction in ’84 obtained a char¬ 
ter from Alpha Tau Omega, and was a prominent factor in college life 
till its demise in ’89. The other faction organized the local society of 
Iota Beta, and was finally absorbed by Delta Kappa Epsilon in ’85. In 
85 also, Phi Delta Theta came to Richmond.

CENTRAL UNIVERSITY. 


When, at the close of the Civil War, the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Kentucky 
■was ruptured, the Southern branch was left without a school, Centre College, at Dan¬ 
ville, having been declared the property of the other branch. 

In May, 1872, some members of the Southern Synod, former alumni of Centre College, 
issued a memorial calling on the Synod to establish a university. The Synod responded, 
and the institution was opened in September, 1874. It embraced two colleges, the 
medical, known as The Hospital College of Medicine, located at Louisville, and The 
College of Philosophy, Letters and Science, situated at Richmond. 

Rev. R. L. Brick, D. D., was chosen Chancellor, and Rev. J. W. Pratt, D. D., Presi¬ 
dent of the College of Philosophy, Letters and Science. 

The Institution owes its firm financial basis to the wise suggestions of Col. Bennet 
H. Young, who came to its rescue during the financial depression of ’75-6. The endow¬ 
ment has been further increased during the incumbency of the present Chancellor, Dr. 
L. H. Blanton, the successor of Dr. Brick, resigned. He has secured $260,000 for 
•Central, making its endowment now fully half a million. 

Among the more liberal donors may be mentioned the late S. P. W alters, Col. Bennet 
Young, Orville Ford, D. C. Collins, Esq., A. J. Alexander, W. N. Haldeman, and W, 
T. Grant. 

Beside the main college building, there are, on the campus at Richmond, four pro¬ 
fessors’ houses, the chancellor’s residence, Memorial Hall, which is the dormitory, a 
gymnasium and a preparatory building. These are all handsome brick structures, 
well designed for their purposes. 

In addition to these there are, at Louisville, buildings for the medical and dental 
departments ; and in ’92, in accordance with the provisions of the charter, two prepara¬ 
tory schools were opened—one at Jackson and the other at Elizabethtown. 

The attendance in all departments in ’91-2, was over six hundred, twenty-eight States 
and Territories being represented. 

Dr. Pratt, resigned, has been succeeded by Dr. J. Y. Logan in the presidency of the 
College of Philosophy, Letters and Science.

KENTUCKY CHI. 


Kentucky Chi chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity was ushered 
into existence at a time when the whole country was trembling under 
the suspense of the years immediately preceding the Civil War. Over 
the Southern States the war clouds were already gathering, and in their 
shadows many institutions found existence impossible. Kentucky Chi 
experienced this disaster, scarcely having begun her career before her 
young life was crushed. 

In September, 1858, Mr. Charles Stewart Shorter was initiated into 
N. C. Xi, and shortly afterwards secured a charter to establish a chapter 
at the Kentucky Military Institute, an institution then bidding fair to 
become one of the leading schools of Kentucky. The records of the 
chapter are incomplete and but little can be said of this period. How¬ 
ever, it may be said with a reasonable degree of certainty, that the pro¬ 
posed chapter was organized in Oct., 1858. Old records^f the institu¬ 
tion show that as late as 1861 the chapter still existed. During this 
period only seven men were initiated, viz: W. A. Jackson, J. O. Gaillard, 
J. B. Kent, J. R. Binford, J. G. Marston, B. W. Marston, and G. L. 
Scott. Off these, four are dead, two having been killed while in the C. 
S. A., and another having died from the effects of wounds received at 
Atlanta in 1864. 

The chapter remained extinct until 1869. A charter for reorganization 
was then secured by S. D. McCormick, of Ya. Sigma, and the establish¬ 
ment effected in Feb., 1869. The first regular meeting of the reorganized 
chapter was held, Feb. 13. Bro. E. A. Blount was chosen president. The 
first duty of the chapter was the election of permanent officers. In viev r 
of the limited membership, only two were elected, viz: Bro. Blount, 
president, and Bro. Wright, secretary. The other two members were 
Bros. Lusk and Young. 

A season of remarkable prosperity now set in, and the chapter at once 
began a career of usefulness. The general standard of the K. M. I. boys 
was above the average, and Chi secured such members as gave her a 
position of honor at the institution, and of considerable prestige in gen¬ 
eral fraternity circles. The careful military exactness, keen sense of 
honor, and habits of industry inculcated by the Institute, happily blended 
together in the sons of Chi and made them worthy wearers of the “ purple

and gold.” The revived chapter added to her rolls the names of only 
the select students of the school, and so manly and dignified were her 
members, that she at once won the confidence of the faculty. Before the 
close of the academic year of 1868-9, Col. Kobert Thomas Pitcairn Allen, 
the head of the institution, became an honorary member. He was a true 
and loyal Sig, and took great pride in old Chi. For many years he was 
the central figure about which clustered all the glory and grandeur of the 
once renowned Kentucky Military Institute. 

The year, 1873-4, found the institute with but a small attendance, and 
in consequence of this, the chapter was considerably weakened. In the 
Fall of 1874, only one Sig was to be found among the students. At this 
time, B. H. Wildberger, class of ’71, and an enthusiastic alumnus mem¬ 
ber of Chi, was called to the chair of Natural Sciences. He determined 
to restore Chi to her old-time position of power. By the close of the 
year, 1874-5, the chapter had a membership of eight. 

Chi was made Grand Chapter of the fraternity by the General Con¬ 
vention held at Bichmond, Va., in 1877. She filled this position until 
1883. 

Many honored names are found on the records of this once noble 
chapter. That of Col. Allen has already been mentioned. No one 
brings the chapter more honor than does Hon. J. G. Carlisle, one of the 
central figures in American statesmanship. Col. B. H. Wildberger, J. 
H. Young, Ben. T. Farmer, B. H. Snively, and many others have careered 
to positions of prominence in the fraternity, and have been eminently 
successful in the broader fields of activity. 

Student life at the K. M. I. was greatly influenced by the fraternities. 
That this influence was healthful is attested by the annual report of 
Supt. Allen (1879). In it he says of the fraternities: “They have been 
productive of much good in the corps, and by surrounding the young 
man with companions who he knows care for him, who counsel, guide 
and restrain him, they have been eminently useful aids in promoting a 
change to higher and better aims and efforts in more than one case dur¬ 
ing the past year.” 

The charter was withdrawn in 1887. The demise of the chapter was 
not due to any lack of vigor in herself, but died with the institution in 
which, for so many years, she had lived a life of honor and usefulness. 

Three other fraternities had chapters at this institution: Chi Phi, 
Alpha Tau Omega and Psi Omega (local).

KENTUCKY MILITARY INSTITUTE. 


Kentucky Military Institute, lor many years second only to West Point in> 
thoroughness of military discipline, was located at Farmdale, a village six miles from 
Frankfort. The village is reached by stage coach over the Frankfort and Harrodsburg 
Pike. It was selected for the site of the Institute because of its healthfulness and the 
picturesqueness of the surrounding scenery. 

The institution was organized in 1845, by Colonel R. T. Allen, and incorporated under 
the laws of the State in 1847. The management was in the hands of the private owners. 
A Board of Visitors was annually appointed by the Governor of the State. The Gov¬ 
ernor was a member ex-officio of this hoard. The superintendent of the institute, the 
faculty and the cadets, constituted a quasi military corps. The officers were commis¬ 
sioned under the seal of the Commonwealth, and were responsible to the Board of Visi¬ 
tors for the faithful discharge of duty. 

The institute was a private enterprise. The funds necessary for meeting current ex¬ 
penses were derived from the students in attendance. The Legislature gave no aid 
whatever except in the way of military equipment. The students were under military 
control. 

The main building was admirably adapted for the purpose it served. It was a brick 
structure erected at a cost of about $100,000. It was heated by steam,^lighted with gas, 
and had excellent sanitary improvements. 

The aim of the school was higher than mere military drill. While great stress was 
laid on a just physical discipline, the higher and nobler faculties were not neglected. 
The aims and purposes of youth need direction, and in this school special care was taken 
to turn the attention of the student to that profession or occupation for which he was 
peculiarly fitted. Military drill was a means, not an end. Many gallant soldiers were 
trained within the walls of the institute, and were an honor to their alma mater. But 
a vastly greater number of her sons entered other fields of labor, and have won posi¬ 
tions of honor and power. The K. M. I. boys were taught to do the right for its own 
sake, not through fear of punishment, and, therefore, when they were released from 
military restraint, they were not so liable to become reckless. It was to the stress put 
on this branch of the work that may be imputed much of the strength of character 
which so distinguished the sons of the K. M. I. 

Col. R. T. P. Allen was superintendent at three different times : 1845-8, 1850-4, 
1865-74. 

Degrees were conferred, and in many ways the institute offered all the advantages 
of a high-grade college. 

In 1887, the institution disbanded. It has since been reorganized, but its prosperity 
is at a low ebb.

LOUISIANA EPSILON. 


Louisiana Epsilon was established in 1867 by Charles Read, of Tenn. 
Nu. On the charter are found the names of J. H. Eady, S. H. Lewis, 
Joseph Pierson, T. B. Edwards, T. F. Montgomery, Y. Montgomery, 
and H. H. McCollam. 

The chapter was originally located at the “State Seminary,” Alex¬ 
andria, but was transferred with the school to Baton Rouge. 

For a short time the chapter prospered, but the government and char¬ 
acter of the institution did not justify the continuance of the charter. 
It was accordingly withdrawn in 1869, after twenty-four men had been 
initiated.

LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY. 


The Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College originated 
in land grants made by the United States Government in 1806, 1811 and 1827. The 
institution was organized under the name of Rapides Academy. In 1819 it was incor¬ 
porated into Rapides College, which was, in turn, succeeded by the East Louisiana 
State Seminary. This was one of the first schools of the State to receive State aid 
under the act of the Legislature, making appropriations to academies and seminaries. 

By act of Legislature, 1853, the “ State Seminary of Learning and Military Acad¬ 
emy” was chartered. Two years later an appropriation of $30,000 was made to con¬ 
struct buildings and incorporate the school. The site selected for the new institution 
was in the County of Rapides. The Seminary was controlled by a board of seven 
trustees, appointed by the Governor and approved by the State Senate. 

The new institution was formally opened January 2, 1860. Colonel W. T. Sherman 
was superintendent. Work progressed until June, 1861, when the doors were closed on 
account of the Civil War. They were again opened, April 1, 1862, and operations car¬ 
ried on for twenty-two days, when all exercises were again suspended owing to the 
Federal troops occupying the State. 

The seminary reopened, October 2, 1865. In the session of 1865 the Legislature, in 
addition to making other appropriations to the institution, voted $15,600 for the sup¬ 
port of fifty-four cadets, or $300 to each of those who should attend, the number re¬ 
ceiving aid not to exceed fifty-two. Other appropriations rapidly followed. During 
the next five years about $120,000 were appropriated to the seminary, and a like sum 
for the maintenance of the cadets. 

The seminary building was burned, October 15, 1869, and on the first day of Novem¬ 
ber, of the same year, the exercises of the institute were resumed in Baton Rouge. 
New buildings were here erected and the new site was very favorable. 

In 1877 the Agricultural and Mechanical College, founded three years before, was 
united with the seminary by special act of the Assembly. The A. and M. Col¬ 
lege was chartered, April 7, 1823, and was to be located at the Clialmette battle ground. 
It was temporarily located at New Orleans, where it remained until merged with the 
seminary. The new institution received the title of the “ Louisiana State University 
and Agricultural and Mechanical College.”

LOUISIANA ZETA 


At the convention of 1885, a charter was granted to found a chapter 
at Thatcher Institute. The proposed chapter was organized, Sept. 9, 
1886, by T. C. Barrett, Alumnus of Tenn. Omega, assisted by W. O. 
Cutliff, of Tenn. Zeta. Nine men were initiated and became charter 
members: R. M. Ogilvie, T. D. Campbell, J. B. Stephens, J. H. Suth- 
erlin, J. H. Thatcher, G. R. Bell, M. D. Campbell, W. J. Fullilove, and 
R. Billin. The names of J. P. Ford and R. M. Penick were added to 
the roll shortly after. The new chapter received the name of Louisana 
Zeta. 

Zeta was organized at a time when the prospects of Thatcher Insti¬ 
tute were most flattering. Lately the State had chartered the institu¬ 
tion, and with the change of management came increased prosperity. 
The student-body was increasing rapidly, and Zeta had apparently 
found an enviable home. 

But soon reverses came upon the institution. Many of the students, 
including several of the staunch Sigs, left for other schools. The 
waning fortunes of the Institute seemed to justify the withdrawal of 
the charter by the general fraternity, which was accordingly done. 
Thus Louisana Zeta, after having initiated ten members in addition to 
her charter members, was added to the list of defunct chapters.

THATCHER INSTITUTE. 


In 1870, Captain George E. Thatcher and Colonel George D. Alexander founded a 
school about one mile west of Shreveport, La., under the name of “Thatcher and 
Alexander’s Classical and Mathematical Institute.” The founders were popular 
teachers, and soon won the confidence of the best people of Shreveport and vicinity, 
and consequently the school received a large share of patronage. 

Shreveport is the acknowledged metropolis of North Louisiana, and is well adapted 
for a seat of learning. Its people are intelligent and refined. 

In 1872, Colonel Alexander withdrew from the institution. Captain Thatcher then 
conducted it as a private school, and, so popular was it, that owing to lack of accommo¬ 
dations, many applying for admission were refused. In 1886, the school was incorpo¬ 
rated under the laws of the State, and the name was changed to “Thatcher Insti¬ 
tute.” At the same time a Military Department was established. Practice in this 
department, however, is not compulsory. The government is only semi-military. 

The principal founder, Captain Thatcher, was born in Bennington Co., Yt., Feb. 3, 
1830, and received his education at Leland Institute, Townsend, Vt. For many years 
he was the honored head of the institution he founded. 

The institute buildings are three in number. In the armory are one hundred and 
fifty stands of cadet rifles, two pieces of field artillery, and all necessary military ac¬ 
coutrements. 

Provision was amply made for those students denied the advantages of a full colle¬ 
giate course. Nine different “schools” were established, viz : School of Latin, School 
of Greek, School of German, School of French, School of English, School of Mathe¬ 
matics, School of Physics, School of Chemistry, and School of Philosophy. The student 
may elect any one of these, and, on completing the prescribed course of study therein,, 
he is granted a certificate of proficiency in that department. 

During the last few years the school has been on the decline.

MASSACHUSETTS BETA UPSILON 


The founding of Massachusetts Beta Upsilon may be traced back to 
September, 1891. At this time H. C. Burger, of Ohio Sigma, class of 
’90, and G. K. Benton, of Ohio Delta, class of ’91, entered Boston Uni¬ 
versity, the former to take a course in theology, the latter, a course in 
law. With the welfare of Sigma Alpha Epsilon still at heart, they de¬ 
termined to plant a chapter of their honored fraternity in the University. 
Already several fraternities existed there: Alpha Phi, Beta Theta Pi, 
Delta Delta Delta, Delta Tau Delta, Theta Delta Chi, Gamma Phi Beta, 
and Kappa Kappa Gamma, in the college of liberal arts, and Phi Delta 
Phi, in the law school. The new chapter of S. A. E. was to be a uni¬ 
versity chapter. Its ihembers were to be confined to no single depart¬ 
ment, but worth, wherever it existed, was to be recognized. 

The fondest hopes of the founders were fully realized, April 29, 1892. 
On that day the following charter members were initiated: Percy Butler 
Lhoyd, John Edward Magenis, Charles Joseph Bailey, John McKnight 
George Albert Moore, and Charles Conway Long. The new chapter was 
called Beta Upsilon, after the initial letters of Boston University. 

The success of the chapter has been remarkable. From the start 
only men of high standard have been initiated. Enthusiasm has charac¬ 
terized all the work of the chapter, the members are energetic, and with 
the increasing prosperity of the University, Mass. Beta Upsilon is mak¬ 
ing rapid strides forward.

MASSACHUSETTS BETA UPSILON. 


BOSTON UNIVERSITY. 


The charter of Boston University was granted by the Legislature of Massachusetts, 
in the year 1869. The original corporators were Isaac Rich, Lee Claflin and Jacob 
Sleeper, all of whom were men of wide experience in college affairs. The pedigree of 
the school leads back directly to the University of Oxford. The plan of the founders was 
to establish a University of a type combining the best principles of the German and the 
English Universities. The German type gives no place for undergraduate work, being 
occupied entirely with the faculties of philosophy, law, medicine, and theology. In the 
English University there is a group of colleges, all having nearly identical courses in 
liberal arts. The weakness of the English type is the non-effectiveness of the pro¬ 
fessional faculties. In Boston University, the two types were combined, and different 
colleges of liberal and other arts were established in the undergraduate department, 
while ample provision was made for music, art, engineering, and agriculture. 

The unity of the institution is preserved by four all-controlling and centralizing organi¬ 
zations, viz : The Corporation, the Council, the Senate, and the Convocation. The 
Corporation is the highest, and manages the funds, is the source of all authority, and the 
high court of appeal in all cases. The President of the University and the Deans of the 
several departments constitute the University Council, one of whose duties is to adjust 
all interdepartmental questions of administration. All promotions to degrees are 
made in the name of the University Senate, composed of the members of the Univer¬ 
sity Council, the regular professors in the different schools and colleges, and the mem¬ 
bers of the corporation. The University Convocation consists of all those who have 
received any degree or diploma of graduation in the University. This body has cer¬ 
tain defined privileges in the management of the institution. 

The School of Theology is the descendant of the Boston Theological Seminary, estab¬ 
lished in 1839. In its active management, each of the three founders of the University 
were interested, and when the University was chartered the Seminary was transferred 
to the same trustees. Thus in ’71, the oldest Theological Seminary of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church came under the control of the new University, all its former graduates 
being afterwards admitted to the Convocation. 

The School of Law opened, Oct., 1872. The talented George Stillman Hillard, LL. 
D., was the first Dean. The course of instruction covered three years’ work, and at 
the time of organization of the school, was the most extensive law course in America. 
The next year, the School of Medicine was opened with an attendance of about eighty 
students. The New England Female Medical College was united with the medical de¬ 
partment of the University. 

In 1872, the first undergraduate department was opened. It was the College of 
Music. The College of Liberal Arts opened in the following year. 

The School of all Sciences is a department for graduate students only. Since 1874, 
the members of this school are entitled to free tuition in the National University. 
Athens, also, in the Royal University, Rome. Boston University extends the same 
privilege to graduates of these Universities. 

The excess of the assets of the University over its liabilities, as shown by report of 
1892, was about $1,500,000.00. The total attendance in all departments in the same 
year was 1,075, representing thirty-six States and Territories of the United States, and 
twenty-one foreign countries.

MASSACHUSETTS IOTA TAU. 


Massachusetts Iota Tau is the name of the chapter of Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon existing among the students of the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology, both chapter and institute having the same initials. 

Iota Tau was established by Massachusetts Beta Upsilon of the 
neighboring Boston University, on the night of November 25, 1892, the 
initiation ceremonies taking place in the American House, Boston, and 
being followed by a rousing banquet. The chapter began life with 
only four members; but they were of the right sort, and within five 
weeks had found nine worthy candidates for the privilege of wearing 
the purple and gold. These new men were initiated the first Friday 
after Christmas, December 30, 1892, at Auburndale. During the next 
term the chapter was increased by the addition of six more men, and 
Iota Tau closed the session of ’92-93 with nineteen members, all good 
men, including members of the athletic teams and glee club, and offi¬ 
cers of the engineering societies. 

The Sigmas at “Tech” now occupy a large and very pleasant chapter 
hall, prettily furnished, and containing a piano. It is comparatively 
near the school, and convenient for daily social use, as well as for the 
weekly business meetings. 

Tota Tau’s rivals are, in order of their establishment, Sigma Chi, 
Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Gamma Delta, Delta Psi, Theta Xi, Delta Tau 
Delta, and Theta Delta Chi. There also formerly existed at the Tech, 
a chapter of Chi Phi.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. 


201 


flASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. 


The charter for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, situated at Boston, was 
granted by the Legislature of Massachusetts, April 10, 1861. The threefold plan em¬ 
bodied in this charter was that outlined by Professor William B. Rogers, afterward first 
president of the institute, in a memorial which he laid before the Legislature. 

According to this plan, the institute has the triple organization of a society of arts, 
a museum or conservatory of arts, and a school of industrial science and art. 

As a Society of Arts, the institute is engaged in scientific investigation, and the pub¬ 
lication of treatises on special subjects of inquiry. Its meetings are held semi-monthly, 
and its proceedings regularly published in the Technological Quarterly. 

As a Conservatory of Arts, it is occupied in collecting and arranging objects illus¬ 
trating the various arts. 

The School of Industrial Science, however, is by far the most prominent feature of the 
institute, and to the popular minds, this, and this only, is the institute. 

The work of this school is divided into two departments. 

The Department of General or Popular Instruction is open to all of both sexes “ whose 
taste or leisure leads them to avail themselves of such instruction.” It offers lecture 
courses in elementary mathematics, in physics, chemistry, geology, mining, botany, and 
zoology, and is utilized by teachers and persons engaged in mechanical and manufactur¬ 
ing pursuits. 

The real work of the school, however, is in the second department—Special and Pro¬ 
fessional Instruction. This department offers twelve thorough courses: Civil engineer¬ 
ing, mechanical engineering, mining engineering and metallurgy, architecture, chem¬ 
istry, electrical engineering, biology, physics, general studies, chemical engineering, 
sanitary engineering, and geology. All these courses cover four years, though they are 
also arranged to extend through five years. They all lead to the degree of B. S. Cen¬ 
tral and fundamental in the curricula of all these courses are thorough introductory 
courses in mathematics, chemistry and physics. The work of the first year is the same 
in all courses, but that of the fourth year is almost entirely special. The institute also 
offers postgraduate courses leading to M. S., Ph. D. and S. D. 

At the present time (1893), the institute has six buildings, viz : The Rogers building, 
on Boylston Street (150 by 95 feet, five stories); the Walker building (150 by 90 feet, 
five stories), at the corner of Boylston and Clarendon Streets ; the engineering build¬ 
ing (150 by 50 feet, six stories), on Trinity Place ; a series of workshops (150 by 150 
feet), on Garrison Street; a gymnasium, on Exeter Street, and the architectural build¬ 
ing, adjoining the engineering building. 

The School of Industrial Science opened in a small way, in ’64, in hired rooms, on 
Summer Street, and the first annual catalogue (’65-6) offered six courses of instruction. 
Evidently the advancement of the institute has been steady and strong. 

The presidency of the institute has been held by Prof. William B. Rogers, LL. D. 
(62-70) ; Prof. John D. Runkle, LL. D. (’70-8), and Gen. Francis A. Walker, LL. D., 
(1881—). Prof. Rogers was also at the head of the institution for the three years prior 
to the election of President Walker. 

The complete corps of instructors numbers 130.

MASSACHUSETTS GAMMA 


Sigma Alpha Epsipon entered “ Old Harvard ” on the 17th day of 
March, 1893. “The 17th day of March was selected, not because it was 
St. Patrick’s Day, nor yet because it was Evacuation Day ; but because 
it was found most convenient.” # 

The initiation was conducted by Massachusetts Iota Tau, in con¬ 
junction with members of Massachusetts Beta Upsilon and Connecticut 
Alpha, and the new chapter was named Massachusetts Gamma. 

At 3 o’clock the company left Boston, forty strong*, on their way to 
Auburndale, the scene of action. The ceremonies were performed at 
the Woodland Park Hotel, and were followed by a banquet and very 
enthusiastic post-prandial exercises, at which Bro. W. W. Crosby, of 
Iota Tau, presided. 

Gamma started with nine charter members evenly divided among* the 
three upper classes. They were Charles S. Hawes, Henry H.Stickney, 
Howard P. Nash, William K. Buckminster, Frederick W. Stetson, Oscar 
L. Stephens, Edward S. Page, Boy A. Daniels, and George A. Water¬ 
man. At the first meeting the following officers were elected : W. B. 
Buckminster, E. A.; H. H. Stickney, E. D. A.; O. L. Stephens, E. B.; 
Howard P. Nash, E. C.; C. S. Hawes, E. T.; George A. Waterman, E. 
Ch., and E. S. Page, E. W. 

A committee has already been appointed to secure a chapter house, 
and Gamma hopes soon to occupy a building of its own. It is difficult, 
however, to secure a house near the college yard, and the chapter may 
be compelled to be content with a hall for some time. 

Greek-letter fraternities are new factors in the social life of Harvard, 
although it is the home of the first chartered chapter of Phi Beta 
Kappa. The Harvard chapter was, however, very different from the 
original Phi Beta Kappa at William and Mary, and different from the 
modern fraternity. Harvard is full of local class societies and such or¬ 
ganizations as the Pierian Society and the St. Paul Society. The two 
oldest are the Hasty Pudding Club and the Porcellian. The best 
known is probably the “ Dickey,” which was, a long time ago, a chapter 
of Delta Kappa Epsilon. Besides Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the general 
fraternities at Harvard are. Alpha Delta Phi, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Phi, 
Psi Upsilon, Zeta Psi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Theta Delta Chi, Phi Kappa 
Sigma, Delta Upsilon, Chi Phi, Phi Delta Phi, and Sigma Chi. 

Massachusetts Gamma, at the close of the session of ’92-93 had en 
rolled thirteen members.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY. 


Harvard is the oldest of American Universities. In 1636, six years after the land¬ 
ing of the Puritans : the general Court of Massachusetts voted £400 (“a munificent sum 
for the time”) to establish a college “on the footing of the ancient institutions of 
Europe” at the New Town, afterward called Cambridge. Two years later, the Rev. 
John Harvard, a young man just graduated from Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Eng¬ 
land, bequeathed £800 pounds and his excellent library of 320 vols., toward the en¬ 
dowment of the college. In gratitude to him, the assembly voted that the institution 
should bear his name. 

Even under the first president, Rev. Henry Dunster, such was the fame of Harvard, 
that young men were sent over from England to receive their education, although the 
college then possessed but one building and three acres of ground. On Jan. 24, 1764, 
Harvard Hall, containing the best library and philosophical apparatus in America, was 
destroyed by fire. This was a great calamity for the college, but the financial loss was 
more than made up by donations from friends in both England and America. 

For several decades in the middle of this century, Harvard College, notwithstanding 
the superior advantages it offered, “ either remained stationary, or actually suffered loss 
of patronage,” and “ the management did little to make it a national university with¬ 
out sectarian bias.” Under the administration of President Eliot, however, it has again 
taken the front rank in this advancing age. 

Various schools have been added to the college from time to time, until the institution 
has become a university comprehending the following departments : Harvard College 
(1636), the University Library, the Medical School (1783), the Botanic Garden (1805), 
the Law School (1817), the Divinity School (1819), the Astronomical Observatory (1839), 
the Lawrence Scientific School (1847), the Museum of Comparative Zoology (1859), the 
Herbarium (1864), the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology 
(1866), the Dental School (1867), the Bussey Institution (1870), the Arnold Arboretum 
(1872), the School of Veterinary Medicine (1882), the University Museum (1887), the 
Graduate School (1890), and the Semitic Museum (1891). 

The University occupies forty-seven buildings of ample dimensions—the floor area of 
the University Museum alone being four acres. The property of the University is es¬ 
timated to be worth between eleven and twelve million dollars ; its invested funds be¬ 
ing over $7,000,000, and its annual income over $1,000,000. The University Library is 
composed of twenty-seven separate parts ; its total number of bound volumes being over 
387,708, and its collection of pamphlets and maps being about equal in number. About 
15,000 volumes are purchased yearly. 

Over $1,300,000 is held in trust for the benefit of deserving students of Harvard Uni¬ 
versity. The income, about $75,000, is distributed in the form of Fellowships, Scholar¬ 
ships, Price Greenleaf Aid, and Beneficiary Money. In addition to this, the institution 
distributed in ’91-2, $2,755 in prizes. 

The Harvard annex has no official relation with the University. It is under the con¬ 
trol of the Society for the Promotion of the Collegiate Instruction of Women ; but over 
forty members of the University faculties are on its staff. The University, however, 
holds examinations for women in Cambridge, Cincinnati, New York and Philadelphia. 
Success in these examinations entitles to a certificate of proficiency.

MICHIGAN ALPHA 


Like many others of the staunch chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 
Michigan Alpha had her origin in a local society. On Sept. 13, 1884, 
there was organized in Adrian College the “ Sigma Society.” The organi¬ 
zation was effected by seven men, three of whom were members of the 
faculty, banding together for social pleasure. The local society existed 
for more than two years and initiated nineteen men. It was absorbed 
into Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Jan. 22,1887. S. M. Rinehart, F. H. Kinney, 
W. L. Lowrie, A. B. Newton, H. H. Cowan, Guy Yarnev, C. A. Dungan, 
and N. L. Jones became charter members. J. H. Focht, of Ohio Sigma, 
class of ’84, conducted the initiation. 

The charter members of Mich. Alpha were enthusiastic Sigs, and 
succeeded in infusing a part of their own spirit into those initiated dur¬ 
ing the succeeding years. Few chapters in the fraternity have been 
more active than this one. In the work of extension, perhaps nono 
have done more efficient work. As the result of her toil, four staunch 
chapters have been ushered into existence: Michigan Iota Beta, Penn¬ 
sylvania Sigma Phi, Indiana Beta, and Pennsylvania Alpha Zeta. All 
these were firmly established and are an honor to the fraternity at 
large, as well as to the chapter which gave them birth. 

Two of her men are of national fame in fraternity circles: H. H. 
Cowan and W. L. Lowrie, both being noted for their ardent enthusiasm 
in the advancement of the interests of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 

Three of the faculty of Adrian College are Sigs. The President, 
Joseph F. M’Culloch, became a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon in 
February, 1889. President M’Culloch, though a comparatively young 
man, has justly won a reputation of which any fraternity might be 
proud. Prof. Walter H. Howard, M. S., and Prof. Charles E. Wilbur, 
Ph. D., D. D., both were alumni members of the local society, and en¬ 
tered the fraternity as alumni members the same day with the chapter. 

Ever since her organization, Alpha has played a prominent part in 
college life at Adrian. Whether in the class room, in the literary soci¬ 
eties, in athletics, or in social life, her men have stood in the front ranks. 
In the contests for honors, the Sig’s have been eminently successful. 
They have won the Commencement Oratorical Prize three times out of 
four opportunities, and many other triumphs as signal as this have they 

(207)

MICHIGAN ALPHA. 


achieved. Seventeen of them have graduated from College and have 
gone out into the world to seek their fortunes. Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s 
interests are still dear to them and they take an active part in the work¬ 
ings of the local chapter and the general fraternity. 

Alpha’s chief rival is a chapter of Alpha Tau Omega, established in 
1881. Delta Tau Delta had a chapter at Adrian from 1878 to 1883. At 
the latter date the charter was withdrawn. The two sororities, Kappa 
Kappa Gamma and Delta Delta Delta, each have chapters at the College. 
The former established her Psi chapter in May, 1882, the latter, her 
Gamma chapter in 1890. Interfraternal relations are very harmonious. 


ADRIAN COLLEGE. 


209 


ADRIAN COLLEGE. 


The charter for the Adrian College was secured March 22, 1859, under the act of the 
State Leigslature ; ‘to provide for the incorporation of institutions of learning.” The 
board of trustees consists of thirty members, of which twenty-four are elected by the 
General Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, and the other six, by the 
Alumni Association of the College. The college campus contains twenty acres, and on it 
are erected four commodious brick buildings, with a fifth, a gymnasium, in course of 
construction. The museum contains many thousand specimens. The total assets of 
the school amount to more than $300,000, and this amount is increasing rapidly. 

The college is co-educational in the fullest sense of the word, and of the 210 students 
in attendance, about one-half are ladies. 

The faculty consists of twenty professors. The president is Prof. Joseph F. M’Cul- 
loch, of the class of ’83. Since his inauguration the interests of the college have been 
rapidly advanced. At present the college includes six distinct schools : the College 
of Literature and Arts, the School of Music, the School of Theology, the Normal School, 
the Preparatory School, and the School of Commerce. The schools are individual in 
their functions, hut are under the management of a single board of trustees, and 
students in any one department are entitled to the privileges of the other schools. 

The system of elective studies is here applied under conditions most advantageous. 
No arbitrary restrictions are imposed in the selection of studies. For graduation, 2,200 
hours’ work is required, 750 of which must be selected in the special studies of the 
department in which the degree is to be taken. Five degrees are conferred in cursu, 
four of which are for undergraduate work and are Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, 
Bachelor of Philosophy, and Bachelor of Music. The theological course leads to the 
degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

MICHIGAN IOTA BETA 


Michigan Iota Beta, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, was 
the first of Michigan Alpha’s many children. The credit for working up 
the Ann Arbor chapter belongs to Bro. Frederic George Cadwell. On 
January 12, 1889, the whole Adrian Chapter went to Ann Arbor and 
organized Iota Beta with five charter members—Fred. George Cadwell, 
Frederick B. Angell, Chas. James Barr, Edward C. Nichols, and Oscar 
W. Swift. Before the close of the year two more men were initiated. 
During the next year the chapter correspondent wrote to the “Becord:’’ 
Our prospects are indeed very bright and promising. One short year’s 
growth has seen us increase in numbers from five to thirteen. It would 
be foolish for us, in a college numbering some twenty odd fraternities, 
to claim for ourselves at present a Utopian State, but we assure our 
brothers that, if hard work avails anything, we will bring the banners of 
Iota Beta to the front rank of the fraternit} 7, world.” This promise Iota 
Beta has fulfilled remarkably. During the four years of her existence, 
she has become a rival of the older chapters at Ann Arbor worthy of their 
steel. Both in the intellectual and athletic activity of the University she 
has taken a prominent position, and in society, her members have found 
no difficulty in holding their own. 

At Ann Arbor fraternity life is pre-eminently a home life. As there 
are no dormitories of any kind, the thousands of students are forced to 
obtain lodgings in private families. The result of this is that most of 
the fraternities live in houses that have been rented or bought. It is 
the ambition of every society to enjoy those privileges, afforded by twelve 
or more boys living together in a large, well furnished house. 

The first September of Iota Beta’s existence found her enjoying “par¬ 
tial possession of a very pleasant house.” But this, of course, was only 
a little better than no house, in the eyes of the brothers, and the next 
September, they were in undivided possession of a home very con¬ 
veniently located, at 48 South Fourth street, one of the pleasantest parts 
of the city. This house had been sought by several fraternities, and the 
chapter felt very complacent over its acquisition. It was large enough 
to accommodate twelve men, with room to spare “ for visiting brothers.”' 
In the Fall of ’91, however, Iota Beta moved again, ensconcing herself in 
a large house two blocks from the campus, at 46 Liberty street.

This is her home at the present time, ’92-3, but with the opening* of 
the session of ’93-4, the Ann Arbor boys expect to move again, this time 
into a home of their own, which is now building*. 

The corner-stone of Michigan Iota Beta’s chapter house was laid May 
24, 1893. It was a grand occasion. Hon. William L. Wilson, alumnus 
of Washington City Rho, class of ’60, presided. Orations were delivered 
by prominent sigmas , and by representatives of the other fraternities at 
the University of Michigan. 

The house is of field stone, three stories and a basement high, and 
costs $15,000. It contains accommodations for twenty-eight men, ample 
parlors, a library, and a padded room, besides the cellars and culinary 
apartments. The property secured gives ample room for a large lawn, 
tennis courts and croquet grounds. 

The internal life of Iota Beta has always been healthy. She is a large 
chapter, numbering in ’92-3, twenty-three pledges, but these brothers 
have always lived together “in the bonds of peace,” and have ever 
heartily welcomed the many brothers from other chapters who come to 
Ann Arbor to affiliate with her. 

Concerning the weekly chapter meetings, Bro. F. E. Wood says in the 
March “Record” of ’91—“Our meetings are increasing in interest, the 
business of each session engaging the attention of all, and the literary 
feature forming one of the most important and pleasant parts. We have 
divided the Keph into four sections of five each, at present, and these 
sections in turn present a program that is assigned by a committee of 
three. We adopted this plan after considerable discussion and find it 
works well.” 

Iota Beta draws her members entirely from the literary department 
of the University. In this department there are fourteen fraternities. 
In the whole University they number twenty-six.

UNIVERSITY OF JTICHIQAN. 


The University of Michigan has had a continuous corporate existence since 1817, when 
4 ‘the Catholepistemiad, or University of Michigania” was chartered, according to the 
ideas of Judge A. B. Woodward. The institution was reclothed as the University of 
Michigan, in 1821. The system on which the institution is at present based, is nearly 
identical with that adopted March 18, 1837. This system was devised by Rev. John 
D. Pierce. According to it, the university is under control of a board of regents who 
have power to enact rules, appoint the professors and tutors, including the chancellor 
or president, and determine their salaries. 

The original plan contemplated the establishment of a branch of the University in 
every county of the State, these branches to serve as preparatory schools. Nine of 
them were actually established, but were happily abolished by the regents, before 1849, 
the university funds not being sufficient to bear the burden. 

The first university funds were derived from the sale of lands granted by the United 
States in the early part of the century, $100,000 being loaned by the State, with these 
lands as security. It was expected that the sale of the university lands would realize 
$1,000,000 ; but not more than half that sum was actually obtained. 

On March 20, 1837, the institution was located at Ann Arbor, the land company in¬ 
terested in that place donating forty acres of land. 

The over-sanguine regents wished to erect at once a magnificent building that would 
have engulfed the entire property of the corporation. They were, however, success¬ 
fully opposed by Mr. Pierce, who insisted that great teachers, great libraries, and great 
scientific collections, were essentials of a great university, and that the available funds 
were not sufficient for these and a great pile of brick and mortar. So the university 
began its actual work as a college, with four professors’ houses and the “ north wing.” 
The school opened in September, 1841, with two professors and six students. 

Until ’52, the university had had no official head, the regents not thinking a presi¬ 
dent necessary, but in that year the presidency was made a necessary office of the 
institution, and the regents in January, chose the first president, Dr. Henry D. Tappan. 
Immediately upon his accession to office, the university began to advance in every re¬ 
spect and began its real career. 

Dr. Tappan resigned in ’63, owning to difficulties with the regents, and was succeeded 
by Dr. E. O. Haven, afterward Bishop of the M. E. church. Pres. Haven was followed 
in ’69 by Acting President Frieze ; and in ’71, Dr. James B. Angell accepted the presi¬ 
dency. 

Since 1870, the university has been in every sense co-educational and has lost nothing 
by the fact. 

The University of Michigan has long been the peer of any in the land, furnishing 
thorough instruction in all [departments of academic and university work, and num¬ 
bering it students by the thousand. 

The Dormitory system was abolished in ’57, the students forming merely a body of 
the citizens of Ann Arbor. Many of the students occupy fraternity houses. 

The regents at one time during dormitory days attempted to suppress the fraterni¬ 
ties, which resulted in the well known “society war,” and the happy defeat of the re¬ 
gents.

MISSISSIPPI GAMMA 


Mississippi Gamma was founded by Thomas B. Manlove, of Tenn. Nu, 
in 1866. There were six charter members: O. L. Carter, J. R. Chandler, 
C. B. Howry, W. C. Marshall, J. A. Mecklin, and Frank R. Webb. The 
chapter flourished until 1869. At this time the board of trustees 
granted negroes the privilege of attending the university. The pat¬ 
ronage of the whites so diminished that the general convention of the 
fraternity recalled the charter of Gamma. Thus, on May 7, 1869, she 
became defunct, after having initiated about thirty men. 

No attempt of re-organization was made until negroes were excluded 
from the university. This was done in 1872, when the charter was re¬ 
stored, but the condition of the institution was such as did not warrant 
the continuance of the chapter, and hence the charter was recalled the 
same year. 

In 1882 the prospects of the university were brighter, and steps 
were then taken toward re-establishment. On Dec. 16th, of this year,, 
Chas. B. Howry and J. S. Wheless succeeded in replanting the chapter. 
Ten charter members were initiated. Of these Chas. B. Howry, Rev. 
Dr. McFarlane, and I. T. Chambers, M. D., became alumni members. 
The six undergraduates were J. H. Wheless, P. A. Rush, W. B. Bridges, 
J. H. Jones, Augustus H. Foster, and Thomas P. McMahon. Soon 
other good men were initiated and the chapter was placed on a firm 
basis. 

Of the names that grace Gamma’s roll, none is more familiar than 
that of Lucius Quintius Curtius Lamar. Often did he participate in 
the exercises of the chapter to which he belonged, and there remains 
treasured up in the hearts of many of his brother Sigs much of his 
wisdom and fraternal counsel. Many other bright names adorn the 
records of Mississippi Gamma. 

About eighty men have already been initiated. During the past two 
years the chapter has not been so active as it might have been, and but 
few men have been initiated. But next Fall four Sigs will return to the 
university and no doubt others will be initiated. 

Fraternities early found their way to the University of Mississippi. 
The following chapters have been founded: Pi, of Delta Tau Delta,

225 


UNIVERSITY OF JTISSISS1PPI. 


In 1819 the United States Corigress granted to the State of Mississippi thirty-six sec¬ 
tions of land “in trust for the support of a seminary of learning.” The lands were 
judiciously located, and leased until 1833, when a commission was appointed to sell 
them and invest the proceeds in bank stock. This was done, and the sum thus realized 
amounted to $277,332, nearly all of which was lost the next year in the financial dif¬ 
ficulties of the State. The Legislature of 1840 directed that a university be estab¬ 
lished with the remnant of the “seminary fund.” Four years later the proposed Uni¬ 
versity was incorporated, and in 1846 received an additional grant of $50,000, to be 
paid “out of any money in the [State] Treasury not otherwise appropriated.” The 
university was formally opened in 1848 ; this year eighty students were in attendance. 
The first class was graduated in 1851. 

When the War broke out all exercises were abandoned. The funds of the institution 
were not lost during this period of destruction, the State having them in charge. In 
1865 the State acknowledged the debt owed the University, but refused to pay interest 
until 1880. From this time, the sum of $32,600 was annually paid as interest on the 
amount due. Several appropriations have been made by which the University has been 
materially assisted. 

The prosperity of the institution has varied. In 1877-8 the total attendance was 471. 
The present attendance is about 200. The board of trustees, in 1869, granted to negroes 
the full advantages of the institution. Many of the whites then left for other schools 
and soon the privilege had to be recalled. Co-education has been carried on since 1882, 
though the percentage of ladies is very small. 

Already more than 3,500 students have received instruction in the Department of 
Liberal Arts, and about 350 in the Department of Law. In the Department of Liberal 
Arts, there are fifteen professors and instructors. In the Department of Law, there are 
five professors. Three under-graduate courses and two post-graduate courses lead to 
degrees. The under-graduate courses lead to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor 
of Sciences, and Bachelor of Philosophy. 

The University is located near Oxford, a place noted for healthfulness and refine¬ 
ment. While undenominational, the formation of character and the development of 
Christian culture are made objects of paramount importance. The buildings are well 
adapted to their various purposes. The gymnasium is well equipped, and the library 
contains about 11,000 volumes. Of those who have been at the head of the University 
may be named Gen. Alex. P. Stewart, F. A. P. Barnard, LL. D., D. D., and Edward 
Mayes, LL. D.

MISSISSIPPI ZETA 


This chapter was established in 1869, and existed for only a little 
more than two years. Its total membership was fifty. Owing to some 
irregularities in the management of the chapter, the charter was with¬ 
drawn by order of the convention of 1872. 

Two other fraternities established chapters here, but both were short¬ 
lived. Phi Kappa Psi founded her chapter in 1860, but it died the next 
year. Sigma Chi established her Beta Beta chapter in ’73, but this also 
dropped out after an existence of less than a year.

MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE. 


Mississippi College is located at Clio ton, Hinds county, Miss., and is the outgrowth 
of Mississippi AcademjL The academy was established about 1820. Ten years later, 
the intelligent citizens of the county secured a charter for a college. No place seemed 
better adapted for the seat of an educational institution than Clinton. The ancient 
name of the village was Mt. Salus, or Hill of Health, and even at the present time 
this name would be appropriate. Here have lived Governors, Senators and other men 
of high distinction, all of whom have added lustre to the village they were proud to 
call their home, and have given it a tone of refinement peculiarly fitting it for a seat of 
learning. Mississippi College was organized from the old academy, and active meas¬ 
ures were at once taken toward making the new institution a potent factor in southern 
education. The incorporators were assisted in their undertaking by a State loan of 
$5,000 for a year and a half. In 1833, this loan was revived for five years. 

For twelve years (1830-42) the college was non-sectarian. Its management was in 
the hands of a private board of trustees. Financial difficulties induced the owners to 
place it under the care of the Presbyterian Church in 1842. 

The hope was entertained that under the new management the attendance w r ould be 
largely augmented. But the income was inadequate to meet current expenses, and in 
1850, the college was returned to its former owners, who, in turn, proffered it to the 
Baptists of the State. This denomination had no high grade school in the State, but 
for some years had been contemplating the founding of a college for Christian education. 
They at once accepted the offer of the trustees, and set to work to put the College on a 
firm basis. Agents were sent out to solicit funds, and soon an endowment of $100,000 
wos raised. Pledges for an additional sum were secured, new buildings were erected, 
and the student-body was materially enlarged. The college enjoyed a decade of re¬ 
markable prosperity. Dr. I. Urner was the first president under the Baptist manage¬ 
ment. To the untiring energy of Rev. E. C. Eagen is due much of the success of the 
College from 1850 to the war. 

On the breaking out of the War, some of the professors and many of the students en¬ 
listed in the army. When the war clouds had disappeared, the College was in a pre¬ 
carious condition. The endowment was gone and only the buildings remained, with a 
debt of $10,000 incurred in saving them from the ravages of the destroyers. The Col¬ 
lege had to be mortgaged, and only by indomitable perseverance was the debt can¬ 
celled. Prof. M. T. Martin was sent out in 1872 to secure an endowment. He suc¬ 
ceeded in receiving pledges to the amount of $50,000, but a large part of this was 
never paid. In 1875. the College was indebted to its faculty, whose heroic self-sacrifice 
alone preserved the institution. After a few years, the Baptists began to raise collec¬ 
tions in their churches for its benefit, and by these means the money necessary for 
carrying on the work was obtained. 

Since 1880, the attendance has been increasing year by year, and a season of pros¬ 
perity has again come to the College. There is no prescribed curricuulm, but graduation 
depends on attainment. Three degrees are conferred : Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of 
Science and Bachelor of Literature. The different schools are : Mental and Moral 
Science, Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, English and Modern Languages. 
More than 5,000 men have received their education in this college. 

In 1891, Dr. R. A. Venable was elected president.

MISSISSIPPI THETA. 


On the night of March 12, 1887, five boys met with Bro. Oldham in a 
room of the Central Hotel, of Starkville, Mississippi, to organize a 
chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the Mississippi Agricultural and 
Mechanical College. The next morning the joyful news went through 
Sigdom that there was born to Sigma Alpha Epsilon a new chapter, 
Mississippi Theta. The charter members were, J. M. Fletcher, C. L. 
George, H. P. Hughes, C. A. McClain, and E. E. Rand. 

There is a rule in the A. and M. College, exacted by the trustees, 
against secret college societies, so Theta was compelled to begin 
her life sub-rosa , with the firm hope, however, that, since the faculty 
was known to be at least not hostile to the fraternity idea, the near 
future would find the odious rule repealed. Despite this handicap, the 
chapter ran well and added several new names to its roll during the next 
Fall. 

Shortly after Christmas, however, a fatal mishap befell the chapter. 
B. W. Kilgore had been sent as Theta’s delegate to the Nashville Con¬ 
vention and had been made its secretary. On his return to Starkville, 
the minutes of the convention were sent to him by mail; but, becoming 
unwrapped in transitu , the postmaster of Agricultural College P. O. 
placed the manuscript sheets in the boxes of the faculty. Bro. Kilgore 
being informed of this fact, and believing “discretion the better part of 
valor,” immediately sent in the charter and the chapter was disbanded. 
Thus Mississippi Theta disappeared from the Keph Roll for some time; 
but nothing serious having resulted from the Christmas accident, the 
boys determined to apply for a return of their charter. Through the 
efforts of Bro. Phil. A. Rush, of Mississippi Gamma, the charter was 
received again and Theta revived during the Spring of ’88. The chapter 
re-opened with twenty-two members, but lost ten by graduation at the 
commencement in June. Thus the session of ’88-9 was opened with 
twelve men in the chapter. 

One of the boys writing of these times says: “ We have not been 
blessed as our sister chapters in having a regular place to meet; a 
chapter house is an unknown thing to us. A brother residing in Stark¬ 
ville has been so kind as to lend us his office for our initiations. Our 
ordinary meetings have been held in the rooms of the different brothers, 

(237 )

or anywhere convenient. But however cramped and secret these meet¬ 
ings, they have always been pleasant and profitable. 

Thus did Theta thrive for over five years until Nov. 1, 1892. Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon was the only fraternity at the Agricultural College and 
the “barbs” had a very wondrous idea of the nature of fraternities, con¬ 
ceiving them to be somewhat on the order of the “ Maffia” or of “ Gideon’s 
Band.” Having caught an inkling of Theta’s existence, they determined 
to wreak on her their ignorant spite. By contemptible underhand 
methods, they succeeded in obtaining the names of the members. But 
this availed them nothing, for the gallant General Lee, president of the 
institution, refused to accept such ill-gotten information. He, how¬ 
ever, instituted an investigation, and the chapter met in a body before 
the faculty and acknowledged their relation to Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 
Of course, the only thing the faculty could do was to enforce the rule 
of the trustees. This they did with great reluctance and without a word 
of reproach. Great indignation was aroused in Starkville and throughout 
the State over this affair at the Agricultural College and the boys were 
soon after returned to the full privileges of the institution; but so far 
the trustees have not been prevailed upon to alter the rule with refer 
ence to “ secret societies.” According to the Birmingham “ Age-Herald,” 
the fourteen young men disciplined because of their membership in 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, were the honor men of the institution. They in¬ 
cluded the whole military staff of the Lee Guards, the crack company, 
major, adjutant, sergeant major, three captains, and four sergeants. 

Time only can reveal the destiny of Mississippi Theta. 


MISSISSIPPI AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 


239 


niSSISSIPPI AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL 

COLLEGE. 


The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi, situated one mile east of the 
town of Starkville, was founded in 1879. 

The College is partially supported by the agricultural land-scrip Fund, donated by 
the United States Government; but this being inadequate to meet the actual expenses 
of the school in its prosperous and growing condition, the State yearly appropriates 
sufficient money to cover the current expenses. 

In addition to these funds the College owns the eighteen hundred acres of arable 
land upon which it is situated. The buildings, which are large and commodious, are 
worth something over $150,000. 

Ten regular chairs or departments are sustained by the College. These departments 
are presided over by professors, who are fully competent in every branch of their 
especial lines of work, and they are ably assisted by a corps of subordinates, who, for 
the most part, are graduates of the college and have excelled in some particular branch 
of their studies. Since the foundation of the machine shops and foundry, in the ses¬ 
sion of ’91-2, the curriculum has resolved itself into two distinct courses : the agri¬ 
cultural and the mechanical. The degree of B. Sc. is taken in both. Studies, such as 
English, Chemistry aud Biology, are taken in common by students in both courses. 
All students are under strict military discipline, and are required by the regulations 
to become members of the cadet battalion, and participate in all drills and ceremonies. 

In connection with the literary and English departments of the college, should be 
mentioned the library, where all the standard and scientific works of reference are to be 
found, and also the most prominent papers, magazines and reviews. The two literary 
societies, which are supported by the students, are also valuable adjuncts to the liter¬ 
ary department. These two societies edit The College Reflector, a bright monthly. 

The religious and moral lone of this institution is as high—if not higher—than many 
of the strictest sectarian schools of the country. The religious interests of the school 
are cared for by the Young Men’s Christian Association, which has an average member¬ 
ship of one-fourth of the students. 

The students are also required to perform a certain amount of work in the fields and 
gardens, and in this way they put into practice what they have learned theoretically 
in the class room, and not only make of themselves skilled farmers and horticulturists, 
but the labor is remunerative, as they receive eight cents an hour for all work well per¬ 
formed. By this method of free tuition and student-labor, many boys who otherwise 
would be unable to secure a collegiate education, receive a thorough and complete Eng¬ 
lish and scientific course, which fits them for nearly any responsible position in life.

HI550URI ALPHA. 


Missouri Alpha was founded by J. C. Preston of Tennessee Omega, 
Sewanee, Tennessee, on May 25, 1884. 

At first, Missouri Alpha had a very short existence. So great were 
the difficulties under which her few members labored, that the next 
year after she was founded the charter was returned. However, the 
chapter did not long remain inactive, for in ’86, Brother William Mack, 
an alumnus of North Carolina Theta, entered the Law School of the 
University, and induced the members remaining in Columbia to take 
out their charter again. Since that time the chapter has been gradually 
gaining in strength and influence. 

The policy of the chapter has been very conservative. It is a policy 
which has made it very difficult for her to grow in a school of such close 
fraternity rivalry, and which has always kept her membership down to 
ten or twelve men. It has to some extent limited her opportunities for 
action, and has caused her each year to feel anxious about the refilling of 
her ranks. Yet it has also Served to keep the chapter untainted from 
internal rivalries, and has gained for it an excellent reputation, and 
the good will of the faculty. It has caused the influence of the chapter 
to be felt as a power in the school. 

During the nine years of the history of Missouri Alpha, there has 
been but forty-four members, yet in college she has claimed her full 
share of honors. Her men have held twenty-nine offices in the battalion 
located at the University. Among them have been two senior captain¬ 
cies, and when the office of major was created in the department, the 
man first appointed to it was a Sigma. 

Out of the three inter-collegiate medals taken by the school Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon claims one. Her men have taken seven medals for ora¬ 
tory, and five for declamation. Three of them have been editors-in-chief 
of the college paper, and the same number have taken scholarship. 

But the one act of Missouri Alpha of which her men are proudest is 
that she claims the honor of having planted the standard of Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon in one more University, and of adding one more chap¬ 
ter of loyal and worthy men to Sigma’s band—Missouri Beta. 

At present the chapter contains thirteen men, and though most of 
them are young, thev are strong and enthusiastic.

MISSOURI ALPHA. 


Missouri Alpha has been a chapter of slow growth and she has not yet 
been fully developed, but it may well be noted, that as she has been 
nourished slowly and with much care, her career will be one of great 
stability. 

The chapter house is a feature of fraternity life that has not entered 
the University of Missouri, the chapters holding their meetings in 
halls located in the business part of the town. But it is to be hoped 
that when the new university buildings are completed and the school is 
again in a flourishing condition, on her campus will be seen more than 
one of those fraternity homes which are so dear to the heart of every Greek 
undergraduate. 

Missouri Alpha has always had a strong but friendly rivalry with the 
chapters of the other fraternities represented at the University of Mis¬ 
souri. These fraternities are Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Nu, Beta Theta 
Pi, Phi Delta Phi, and Kappa Alpha. There was also formerly a chap¬ 
ter of Phi Kappa Psi in Columbia. In addition to these fraternities, 
Missouri Alpha has the company of the Kappa Kappa Gamma and 
Beta Sigma Omicron Sororities. 


UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI. 


The University of Missouri is situated in the beautiful little city of Columbia, in 
the central part of the State. It was authorized by the first constitution of the State 
in 1840, David Barton being champion of the University idea. 

The institution was not permanently established until the year 1840, its organizer 
and first president being John H. Lathrop. Through his wisdom, and the energy of 
his successors, James Shannon and N. H. Hudson, the University completed the first 
twenty-five years of its existence with credit ; but was always embarrassed by a lack of 
material resources. At the close of the Civil War, the Legislature awoke to a complete 
sense of its responsibility toward the University, and since that time the institution, 
under the presidency of Daniel Read and S. S. Laws, has taken a position not unworthy 
the great State of Missouri. It owes much to the loyalty of Hon. James S. Rollins, and 
to the beneficence of Boon county and the city of Columbia. 

The original university fund was derived from the sale of the two townships donated 
by the United States Government when Missouri was admitted into the Union. After 
the war, the United States again granted lands, which were given to the University 
for the establishment of an Agricultural College. The permanent endowment now 
amounts to nearly three quarters of a million, but the remaining expenses of the Uni¬ 
versity are nearly all met by appropriations from the State Treasury. 

The University received a severe blow in the burning of the main building on the 9th 
of January, 1892. The next General Assembly, however, made good this loss, by cre¬ 
ating a building fund of $237,000. Two new buildings have already been erected, and 
two more are fast approaching completion. 

The University is now (1893) composed of twenty-two departments, fourteen academic 
and eight professional. The academic departments are those of Physics, Chemistry, 
Geology and Mineralogy, Biology, Zoology, Mathematics, Astronomy, Mental Philosophy, 
English, Modern Languages, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. The professional departments 
are those of Law, Medicine, Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Pedagogics, Commerce. Mining 
and Metallurgy, and Military Science. All these departments are under the direction 
of thorough professors, assisted by competent instructors. 

The institution is now under the presidency of Dr. R. If. Josse.

niSSOURl BETA. 


Missouri Beta at Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, was 
added to the Keph Boll of Sigma Alpha Epsilon on the 20th of April, 
1892. 

The boys of Missouri Alpha had long wished to have at least one other 
chapter of their fraternity within the bounds of the State, from which 
they could feel the quickening influence of friends close at hand, and 
now their opportunity at St. Louis was pointed out to them by Bro. B. 
B. Yeaman. 

Fraternities existed in Washington University some years ago, but un¬ 
favorable laws passed by the board of directors compelled them to leave 
the school. 

The restrictions were removed, however, in 1891, and immediately 
several local societies sprang into existence. Among the first of these 
was Kappa Gamma Upsilon, organized in the Fall of ’91. It was “fol¬ 
lowed and swallowed” the next Spring, by the B. S. B. 

This amalgamated society had a very interesting organization, the 
emblem on its seal being “a gopse smelling a rose-bush, and a boy (in¬ 
visible) throwing a brick at its head”—at least this is the interpretation- 
one from the “uninitiated many” has put upon it. 

At the instigation of Bro. Yeaman, this flourishing local society of 
fifteen members entered into correspondence with Missouri Alpha. “It 
would be difficult to determine which were the more eager—the boys at 
Columbia or those at St Louis.” The result was that a committee went 
to St. Louis to look over the situation. They returned a glowing ac¬ 
count of the B. S. B., and on the 20th of April, Bro. Curtis Haydon was 
sent by the chapter, with full authority from the Supreme Council, to 
establish a chapter at Washington University. 

In St. Louis he was joined by alumni Bros. I. L. Bussel, B. E. Todd 
and M. B. Yeaman, and assisted by them, at eight o’clock that evening, 
in the old B. S. B. hall in the University building, initiated the following 
men as charter members of Missouri Beta: A. H. Buck, E. Hendricks, 
B. E. Bolfe, A. F. Ittner, A. B. Abbott, Y. W. Willits, I. Hayes Campbell, 
E. B. Gaylor, L. C. Dziatzko, Ben. May, Jr., W. H. Gorcott, B. B. Brins- 
made, W. P. Eberlein, W. Y. Lloyd, and A. Boyd.

Sigma Alpha meets in the undergraduate department, Phi Delta Theta, 
which absorbed the local Texta Club, and also a local society, Compass 
and Crescent. In the law department are two fraternities, F. O. E. and 
Delta Tau Delta. 

Before the anti-fraternity days, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Phi were 
represented at the University.

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 


Washington University was founded in the city of St. Louis in 1853. The formal 
inauguration of the University took place on the 22d day of February, 1857, the anni¬ 
versary of the birth of him whose name it bears. It was intended to include all uni¬ 
versity studies except Theology. The University proper consists of the college and 
polytechnic school. Formerly, the two degrees given in the college were A. B. and 
Ph. B., but recently the elective system has been adopted throughout the college 
classes, and only the degree of A. B. is given on graduation. The polytechnic school 
includes the usual engineering courses, those of civil and mining engineering being ex¬ 
ceptionally good. The course in mining engineering has been made one of the best in 
the country. The Law School was organized in 1867. It numbers among its graduates 
some of the most eminent of the members of the bar. In 1879, the school of Fine Arts 
was established, which, in connection with the Waymau Crow Museum, offers excellent 
advantages for the study of art. In 1885, Henry Shaw, a man whose name the citizens 
of St. Louis will always hold in the highest esteem and veneration, bestowed upon the 
University an endowment for a School of Botany. Besides real estate yielding ample 
revenue for the support of the school, he placed under the control of the directors, the 
Missouri Botanical Garden, the creation of which had been his life work. This garden 
of loveliness, attractive alike to the seeker of pleasure as well as to the man of science, 
will always keep alive the memory of one of St. Louis’ great benefactors. The St. 
Louis Medical College, an institution founded since 1842, was made a department of 
the University in 1891. The Missouri Dental College became a part of the University in 
1892. The three preparatory schools belonging to the University are, the Mary Insti¬ 
tute. a school for girls ; the Smith Academy, a boy’s school of ordinary academic grade ; 
and the Manual Training School, one of the first schools of this class, established in the 
country. 

The co-educational system is in force and the young ladies enjoy all the privileges 
in the college courses that are accorded to the men. 

The students at Washington University come mostly from St. Louis and the imme¬ 
diate vicinity, but many of the graduates, especially from the engineering departments, 
are scattered in various parts of the country. There are counted among the alumni 
many prominent men, one of whom is the late Governor of the State.

NEBRASKA LAflBDA PI. 


This new chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity was installed 
on the 26th of May, 1893, by Arthur J. Tuttle, of Mich. Iota Beta. The 
name, Lambda Pi, was conferred upon it, in honor of a young lady, who 
was instrumental in its establishment. Owing to the chapter’s having 
been initiated at a time so near the end of the college year, no men 
have yet been enrolled, additional to the charter members. The auspices 
are favorable for the Fall term, when seven of the eight Sigs will return 
to the University. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the seventh fraternity to gain entrance into 
the University of Nebraska. Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta 
Pi, Delta Gamma, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Kappa Alpha Theta, have 
flourishing chapters at the institution.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA. 


The University of Nebraska was chartered by the Legislature of the State, February,. 
1869. Like many other schools of the West, it had its origin in the land grants of the 
General Government. By the act of Congress, 1862, the State received 90,000 acres of 
land, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to an Agricultural and Mechanical Col¬ 
lege. The “ enabling act ” of 1864, gave seventy-two sections for a State University. 
In 1867, the State Legislature consolidated the two grants, and at once took steps toward 
establishing the new university. The management was vested in a board of six regents, 
elected by the people of the State for a term of six years. 

The site selected was a large square in the northern part of the city of Lincoln. The 
main building, of the Italian style of architecture and costing $150,000, was completed 
in 1871, and on September 6, of that year, the University was formally opened and 
dedicated. 

The legislative act, by which the institution was chartered, authorized five depart¬ 
ments, viz : A College of Literature, Science and Arts ; an Industrial College, embracing 
agriculture, practical science, engineering, and the mechanic arts ; a College of Medicine; 
a College of Law, and a College of the Fine Arts. Of these, only three have been orga¬ 
nized—those of Literature, Industrial Art and Medicine. The last named was suspended 
in 1888, after having been in operation five years. The College of Fine Arts will soon 
be instituted. 

The University is the head of the educational system of the State. The Common and 
High Schools find here the completion of the work they have begun. The University 
doors are open to all, regardless of sex or race, and tuition is entirely free. The re¬ 
sources come mostly from a tax levied on the taxable property of the State and from 
the moneys accruing from the land donated by the General Government. From the 
later source quite a large sum is annually realized. 

Connected with the University is an experimental farm of three hundred and twenty 
acres. It is located in the suburbs of the city and affords ample facilities for experi¬ 
mental work in connection with the course in agriculture. It is under the immediate 
supervision of the head of the Industrial College. 

During the last two years, many important changes have been made in the faculty. 
In 1891, Dr. J. H. Canfield, professor of history in the Kansas State University, was 
called to the chancellorship, and his administration has been one of ability, and has 
added much to the popularity of the University. The different departments are ef¬ 
ficiently manned, and the instruction in the work undertaken is complete in every par¬ 
ticular. About six hundred students were in attendance during the year 1892-3.

NEW YORK ALPHA. 


Early in the year 1891, a movement was set on foot by some of the 
students of Cornell University to establish a chapter of the Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon fraternity in that institution. One of the chapters of 
this fraternity located nearest to Ithaca was Pennsylvania Omega, at 
Meadville. Application was made to Omega for information as to the 
modus operandi by which the desired chapter might be established. 
After considerable correspondence, it was determined that a charter 
should be granted. Permission was given to Elmer Higley, of Pa. 
Omega, to establish the new chapter, which was to be known as New 
York Alpha. The initiation took place on the night of April 22, 1891, 
in the parlors of the t{ Hotel Ithaca.” Three men were allowed to write 
their names on the mystic scroll, and were then initiated into the mys¬ 
teries of the fraternity, and became charter members of New York 
Alpha. The names of these three are Henry C. Ohlmeyer, William O. 
Clark and Robert C. Matlock. Of umblemished character, of high in¬ 
tellectual and social attainments, and of indomitable energy, these men 
were admirably fitted to become the foundation of a chapter that bids 
fair to become a leading chapter of the fraternity, as well as one of honor 
to the general fraternity world. New York Alpha was early recognized 
as a “hustler,” a name of which she was proud. 

The first man the new chapter initiated was Oscar Henry Fernback. 
Soon afterwards the name of Henry Price Center was added to the roll. 
Both these men were sorely beset by other fraternities, but they pre¬ 
ferred to be numbered among the noble array of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 

The next man to be initiated was George F. Danforth. Thus Alpha’s 
membership was gradually and judiciously augumented, and the chap¬ 
ter soon became a potent factor in university circles. Her men were 
selected with great care. Already so many fraternities existed in Cor¬ 
nell that only those of superior merit could obtain recognition. Im¬ 
pressed with this fact, the members of New York Alpha have been more 
conservative in the choice of new men than they would otherwise have 
been, choosing to have her influence centralized in the individual char¬ 
acters of her few members, rather than vie with her rival chapters in 
seeking strength in mere numbers. 

Throughout the two years of Alpha’s existence her interfraternal re- 

(260 )

lations have been of the most cordial nature. She has been fair and 
honorable in her dealings with the other fraternities and with the local 
college world, and thus has won the confidence of her rivals and of the 
students in general. 

No sooner was the chapter founded than steps were taken toward se¬ 
curing a chapter house. Until such could be constructed, temporary 
quarters were taken up; eight large rooms and a spacious hall were 
leased and comfortably furnished. No organization in the city can boast 
of better furnished parlors. 

About thirty-four fraternities and sororities have representation at 
Cornell University. Zeta Psi was the first to enter, and was closely fol¬ 
lowed by Chi Phi. Of the more recently established chapters is Alpha 
Zeta, a fraternity exclusively for foreign men. 

The college year of ’90-1 is especially memorable in fraternity circles. 
This year seven fraternities entered: Alpha Zeta, Delta Tau Delta, 
Sigma Phi, Sigma Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Delta Phi, and a new law 
fraternity called Delta Chi. Of the sororities, Kappa Alpha Theta was 
the first to enter, and was followed by Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta 
Gamma, and Alpha Phi. The chapter membership of the several fra¬ 
ternities ranges from ten to thirty.

NEW YORK ALPHA. 


CORNELL UNIVERSITY. 


Cornell University, located on a liill overlooking the town of Ithaca, New York, 
was incorporated by the State Legislature, April 27, 1865, and was formally opened in 
October, 1868. It owes its existence to Ezra Cornell, who desired to “found an institu¬ 
tion where any person could find instruction in any study.” By Senator Morrill’s 
federal land grant bill, passed by Congress in 1862, the State of New York received 
990,000 acres of land, the income of the fund accruing from the sale of which was to be 
devoted to the maintenance of an institution where the mechanic arts and agriculture 
should be taught. When this land scrip came before the State Legislature for disposal, 
Mr. Cornell, then a member of the Legislature, offered to give $500,000 and 200 acres 
of land for the establishment of auniversity, provided the land-scrip fund be given also. 
The generous offer was accepted, and the university placed under the control of a 
board of trustees of which the Governor of the State, the Lieutenant Governor, the 
Speaker of the House, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction, were members ex- 
officio. 

The charter provides that the range and plan of instruction shall be determined by 
the board of trustees, a majority of which shall at no time be of one religious sect, or 
of no religious sect. On the same broad basis, persons of every religious denomination, 
or of no religious denomination, shall be equally eligible to all offices and appoint¬ 
ments. In regard to students, it provides that they shall be admitted to the University 
at the lowest possible rates of expense ; also, that one student shall be received annually 
from each assembly district of the State, free of any tuition fee, such student to be se¬ 
lected for superior attainment. 

Mr. Cornell’s largest benefaction to the University was made through profits on the 
laud scrip. The greater part of the scrip was sold to him, with the stipulation that 
whatever profits should be realized, would be appropriated to the University. By 
this stipulation about $2,000,000 were added to his previous munificent donations. 

The University has received from Henry W. Sage, $1,163,216 ; from John McGraw, 
$140,177 ; from Andrew D. White, $192,000 ; from Hiram Sibley, $155,637 ; from Daniel 
Fay weather, $200,000 ; from miscellaneous contributors, $150,000. By a charter restric¬ 
tion in regard to the amount of property the University might hold, the donation of 
Jennie McGraw Fiske, amounting to $300,000, could not be accepted. This restriction 
has since been removed. 

The Library building, the gift of Mr. Sage, is of sandstone, and is fire-proof. Its ca¬ 
pacity is about 500,000 volumes. The cost of the building was about $300,000. For the 
purchase of books, there is an endowment of $300,000. Religious exercises are con¬ 
ducted in Sage Chapel. The other principal buildings are the following : “Cascadilla,” 
a dormitory building, worth $37,000; the Gymnasium, worth $32,000; Sage College, 
a ladies’ dormitory, costing $150,000 ; Barnes’ Hall, the Y. M. C. A. building, costing 
$40,000 ; Morrill Hall, worth $70,000 ; White Hall, a recitation building, valued at 
$80,000 ; and Franklin Hall, the home of the department of Physics and Science, valued 
at $90,000. 

Drill and Military Science are part of the studies and exercises in all courses of study. 
The institution offers a wide range of university work. The faculty consists of about 
seventy professors, and about seventy-five instructors and assistants. In 1892-3 the at¬ 
tendance was 1,665.

NORTH CAROLINA THETA. 


North Carolina Theta was organized, May 20,1883, by E. G. Seibles, 
of South Carolina Delta. Her charter members were W. Mack, T. J. 
Anderson, J. S. Moore, and W. M. White. With this membership she 
began active work in the Fall of 1886, but, like almost all young organi¬ 
zations, Theta had to contend with many difficulties before she could 
obtain a position of strength. The college authorities were opposed 
to secret societies, and did all in their power to prevent any such from 
being established in the institution. Notwithstanding this fact, how¬ 
ever, by Theta’s first anniversary she had initiated twenty men. 

Luckily for the chapter, a change soon took place in the College 
faculty. A new president was elected, whose position on the fraternity 
question was such that Theta no longer found it necessary to exist sub 
rosa , but boldly came fortH to take an active part in college life. Her 
sub rosa existence had only nurtured her and made her powerful. When 
her existence was made public she was a strong healthy chapter, able to 
cope successfully with any other organization in the College. She soon 
obtained control of two large rooms on the second floor of the north 
wing, Main College, and proposed to remodel them. To defray the ex¬ 
penses of fitting up these rooms, about $400 were secured. 

By the convention of 1885, North Carolina Theta was made Grand 
Chapter of Province “ C,” in which capacity she served with credit until 
1889, when the convention made a change by which Theta was placed 
in “B” Province, with South Carolina Delta as Grand Chapter. Theta’s 
men have always taken an active interest in the general welfare of the 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Through the efforts of some of them, 
the defunct North Carolina Xi chapter was revived. 

The chapter has initiated seventy-one men and at present has a mem¬ 
bership of fifteen. 

Four Greek letter fraternities have chapters at Davidson College: 
Kappa Alpha (1880), Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1883), Beta Theta Pi (1887) 
and Kappa Sigma (1890).

NORTH CAROLINA THETA. 


DAVIDSON COLLEGE. 


The Presbyterians of the Carolinas were early enlisted in the cause of Christian ed¬ 
ucation, and determined to establish an institution of their own. Failing to secure 
royal recognition of Queen’s College, the name was changed to Liberty Hall. This was 
soon abandoned, and for several years Mt. Zion College, Princeton, S. C., received the 
patronage of the Presbyterians of the two States. Later, those of North Carolina sent 
their sons to the State University. But owing to the great expense of an education in 
these institutions, a convention of delegates from both States was held at Lincolnton, 
Sept., 1820, to consider the establishment of a denominational school. It was agreed 
that such a school should be founded, but, the board of trustees appointed being unable 
to agree on a site, the project was abandoned in 1824. 

In 1835 the Concord Presbytery determined to establish a college where the students 
could pay part of their expenses by manual labor. It was agreed that the college 
should be located at Davidson, N. C., and named in honor of General William David¬ 
son, whose son, William L., donated the land on which the buildings were to be 
erected. Soon $30,000 were subscribed, and the College opened in March, 1837, with 
three professors and sixty-six students. The original plan of the founders was carried 
out in every respect, save that after four years’ unsuccessful trial, the manual labor 
system was abolished. 

In 1855, by the will of Maxwell Chambers, the college was bequeathed $258,000, but 
charter limitation of endowment prevented the acceptance of more than $200,000 of 
this amount. This gift enabled the trustees to provide a more efficient corps of in¬ 
structors, as well as to provide buildings, apparatus, cabinets, etc. 

During the Civil War, until just before Gen. Lee’s surrender, the work of instruc¬ 
tion was carried on with from four to six professors. College then closed, but re-opened 
as soon as the war was over, but about one-half the endowment had been swept away 
by the contest. 

The campus is a beautiful lawn, handsomely laid off in walks, and shaded with oaks 
and other trees. The main building cost $85,000. It contains large halls, library 
room and laboratory. The other buildings are two society halls, Morrison Memorial 
Y. M. C. A. Hall, dormitories, and six residences for professors. 

The library contains about 11,000 volumes. The college has 10,000 mineralogical 
and geological specimens, besides a valuable collection of apparatus to illustrate the 
various sciences. Ample provision is made for physical culture in the way of a well 
equipped gymnasium, a lake, and tennis courts. 

During the first half century of the existence of the College the total number of stu¬ 
dents matriculated was 1,860, of which 571 were graduated. More than 200 men were 
•educated for the ministry.

NORTH CAROLINA RHO RHO AND CARO¬ 
LINA MILITARY INSTITUTE. 


North Carolina Rho Rho was founded in 1876, at the Carolina Mili¬ 
tary Institute, at that time one of the most prominent educational in¬ 
stitutions of the State. The location of the institute was in one of the 
suburbs of the city of Charlotte, N. C. 

The principal building was designed by Gen. T. J. Jackson, who, it is- 
said, himself contemplated founding a military institution. The corner¬ 
stone was laid in 1858. No institution in the State could boast of a 
better building. It was constructed of brick, and fashioned after the 
Norman castellated style of architecture. The campus was a beautiful 
lawn containing twenty-seven acres. 

College exercises were begun in 1859. Gen. D. H. Hill, brother-in- 
law of Gen. Jackson, was the first superintendent. The attendance at 
the opening session was large, and the work of instruction was ably 
carried on under such men as Gen, Hill, Gen. Lane, Col. Charles Lee, 
and others. 

The Civil War compelled the suspension of all exercises. In 1873 
work was resumed under the superintendency of Colonel JohnP. Thomas, 
ex-principal of Citadel Academy. In 1876 the institution was very 
promising, and it was then that Sigma Alpha Epsilon planted her Rho 
Rho chapter. The chapter was founded by Washington City Rho, 
hence the name. 

The new chapter was destined to be short-lived. In 1877 anti-fra¬ 
ternity laws were passed, which compelled the surrender of the charter. 

The institution [soon after began to decline and finally was disbanded. 
At present the buildings are devoted to the use of the graded schools.

NORTH CAROLINA XI. 


Chapter North Carolina Xi, of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, 
located at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, was founded in 
February, 1857, through the instrumentality of Rev. T. C. Cooke, Ala. 
Mu, ’57, and Bro. J. M. Fleming, N. C., Xi, class of ’59. Bro. Cooke was 
a student in Princeton, in the year 1856-7, and there learned of Bro. 
Fleming, through an intimate friend and fellow student from North 
Carolina. Bro. Cooke immediately began a correspondence with Bro. 
Fleming, which resulted in the former’s obtaining a charter from the 
Grand Chapter (Ala. Mu) for a chapter at the University of North 
Carolina. As it was impossible for Bro. Cooke to go down on account 
of the exceedingly long time it took to make the journey, the charter 
was forwarded to Bro. Fleming, who immediately initiated others of his 
fellow-students. Thus it was that Xi Chapter was founded, being the 
third chapter of the order to be established. 

There is still some doubt as to the exact date of the organization of 
this chapter, but in the archives there is a letter from Bro. Noble Leslie 
DeVotie, Ala. Mu., 57, the founder of the fraternity, then a student at 
Princeton with Bro. Cooke, dated Feb., 1857, telling Bro. Fleming that 
his application for a charter had been received and forwarded to the 
Grand Chapter and that he expected a charter to be sent Bro. Fleming 
in a very short time. The minutes of Mother Mu show that the charter 
was granted on the 14th of Feb., and at once forwarded. There is an¬ 
other letter dated March 31, 1857, from Bro. Cooke, congratulating Bro. 
Fleming on the successful organization of the chapters and wishing him 
all the success possible. 

The chapter immediately began a prosperous career and in a com¬ 
paratively short while had a membership of about fifteen. In 1858 it 
was made Grand Chapter of the fraternity in which capacity it continued 
to act until 1860, when, owing to many students leaving college on ac¬ 
count of the troublesome condition of the times and the near approach 
of the Civil War, the membership of the chapter was decreased to two 
men. At the request of the two members remaining in college the of¬ 
fice of Grand Chapter was transferred to another chapter more prosper¬ 
ous.

NORTH CAROLINA XI. 


In 1859 Xi chapter compiled and edited the first catalogue of the 
fraternity. It was printed in Washington city under the supervision of 
Bro. J. H. Wright (Washington City Rho, ’59) and other members of 
the Columbian University Chapter. 

The chapter in the Fall of 1860 began to regain her prosperity but her 
gkny was destined to be short-lived, for the first news of the war carried 
away all but one member of the chapter, and at his graduation in 1862 
the chapter ceased to exist. It was not revived until twenty-three years 
afterwards. 

The University kept its doors open the entire four years of the war, 
but the number of students diminished from 465, in ’58-9, to 50, in ’64-5. 
The doors of the University were closed from 1870 to 1875. When the 
institution re-opened, anti-fraternity laws were passed which for a while 
prevented the re-organization of the different fraternity chapters. 

In the Fall of 1884 there began a violent agitation of the fraternity 
question and the college became very much divided on the subject; but 
at the commencement, in 1885, the trustees finally decided to allow fra¬ 
ternities to exist under certain restrictions. Already Sigma Alpha Ep¬ 
silon had re-established her chapter. 

On the 21st of Feb., 1885, G. B. Patterson, ’86, J. H. Little, ’88, C. 
Dockery, ’87, and W. De B. McEachin, ’88, students of the University of 
North Carolina, and representing a body of students who had been 
gotten together for the purpose of re-establishing the old chapter of 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, met Bros. R. D Ross, N. C. Theta, ’86, and I. R. 
Oeland, N. C. Theta, ’85, at the Hotel Clairborne, in Durham, N. C., and 
were initiated into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. 

Their initiation was brought about in the following manner: Some of 
the members of North Carolina Theta Chapter were intimately ac¬ 
quainted with several students at the University. They secured some of 
these, together with others, for a chapter, x>rocured a charter from the 
Grand Chapter (Tennessee Omega), and, twenty-eight years after the 
founding of the chapter, it was re-organized and again set out on a 
career of usefulness and prosperity. The chapter ran sub rosa until 
commencement, though from its organization it had shown its activity 
and came out a strong chapter of sixteen men. 

From the time of its re-organization it has kept up to a high stand¬ 
ard of membership, and has made its influence strongly felt in college, 
so much so, that of the social honors for commencement, namely, 
marshals and ball managers, both of which the students highly prize, 
at every commencement since her reorganization, Sigma Alpha Epsi¬ 
lon has been represented by at least one ball manager or marshal. Dur¬ 
ing the eight years of existence, four times she had chief marshal, and

twice chief ball manager. As a general rule her men stand well in the 
class room; once she has had the valedictorian, and three times has she 
had the salutatory. They stand well in the literary societies, also, and 
have held high and honored positions, oftentimes winning medals for 
oratory over many competitors. 

Her weight and strength have been felt in every department of col¬ 
lege life; in the Young Men’s Christian Association, in athletics, and in 
student journalistic enterprises, and now she has a chapter of twelve 
staunch men. 

The other fraternities here represented are : Delta Kappa Epsilon, 
Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Sigma, ZetaPsi, Alpha 
Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, and Sigma Chi. Several other 
chapters once existed but are now defunct.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA. 


The University of North Carolina was established in obedience to a clause of Section 
XLI. of the constitution of the State, adopted December 18, 1776 : “All usefullearn¬ 
ing shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one or more universities.” Every con¬ 
stitution adopted since that time, save one, has this identical clause, and in it the uni¬ 
versity has been mentioned as a State institution and provision made for its support. 
In 1789 a charter was granted by the State Legislature, authorizing the establishment 
of the university, and naming as trustees forty of the most distinguished citizens of the 
State, including, among others, many of the State’s early Governors, Judges, Senators, 
and Representatives. Owing to its central locality, elevation, healthfulness, and charm¬ 
ing scenery, Chapel Hill was unanimously chosen as the site of the proposed university. 
The citizens of the neighborhood gave to the institution 1,180 acres of land and a con¬ 
siderable sum of money. With the aid received from the State, the trustees were en¬ 
abled to erect imposing buildings. The corner-stone of the old east building was laid 
Oct. 12, 1793 (a day now annually commemorated as University Day). On the occa¬ 
sion, Masonic ceremonies were conducted by Gen. William R. Davies, Grand Master of 
the State Lodge. A large audience was present, representing the wealth and culture 
of the State. 

In Feb., 1795, the doors were thrown open for the admission of students. The 
enrollment for that year reached forty-one. From that time until the opening of the 
War, the number gradually increased. In 1860, 465 were in attendance. 

Rev. Joseph Caldwell was elected president in 1804, and under his administration of 
twenty-eight year the university grew in strength, influence, and number of students. 

Dr. Caldwell dying in 1835, Hon. David L. Swain, then Governor of the State for 
the third term and one of the foremost men of his time, was called to the presidency. 
Under his able management the university continued to prosper until 1860. In 1859- 
60 one-half of the states of the Union were represented by students. Chapel Hill was 
looked upon as the leading educational institution of the South. 

During the Civil War the university doors were still open but so many of the profes¬ 
sors and students had enlisted in the Confederate army that it was almost impossible to 
carry on the exercises. However, the institution survived, and was fast regaining its 
old-time p)ower and influence, when, in 1868, the old faculty was superseded by one in sym¬ 
pathy with the dominant party of the State. In 1870 the doors were closed for lack of suf¬ 
ficient students. In 1875 the University reop>ened and there began a gradual increase of 
students, until in 1891 ,when the number reached 200. Then a new era dawned upon the 
institution, a new president, young and progressive was elected, and he has again brought 
it into prominence. In two years the student body was raised from 200 to 320. Many 
of the various university departments have been enlarged. Aid is being received from 
the State as well as from private sources. Already the State has granted the Univer¬ 
sity sums amounting to about $340,000.

OHIO DELTA 


On the morning of November 17,1888, the students of the Ohio Wes¬ 
leyan University were much surprised to see the pin and colors of Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon. It was with this modest announcement that Chapter 
Ohio Delta was ushered into the Greek world, and into the struggle 
for supremacy at the Ohio Wesleyan University. 

The pioneers in any undertaking have no easy task, and to establish 
a chapter of a fraternity at a school where strong rivals and severe 
competition will be encountered always involves self-sacrifice, loyalty, 
and devotion on the part of the charter members. 

But the men selected for the inception of this enterprise were in every 
way worthy wearers of the royal purple and old gold. They were: M. 
L. Barr, G. K. Denton, B. A. Dunbar, F. A. Grandle, E. W. Green, R. 
H. Griffiths, I. A. Lieghley, W. M. Patton, and H. B. Weaver. 

To the first of these, Morris L. Barr, the gratitude of all members of 
this chapter will ever be due. By his attractive personality, his manly 
qualities, his excellent work in the class-room, and his recognized ability 
as an orator, he was enabled to gather such men about himself as made 
all future successes possible. An active part in the establishment of the 
chapter was also taken by Bro. Ira A. Lieghley, who, having previously 
become acquainted with the members of Ohio Sigma while attending 
Mt. Union College, first suggested petitioning Sigma Alpha Epsilon for 
a charter. Of the other members of this band little need be said except 
that they were manly, honorable and studious. 

The correspondence begun by Bro. Lieghley finally resulted in the 
granting of a charter, and on Nov. 16, 1888, Bro. John H. Focht, of 
Ohio Sigma, made his appearance on the campus with the precious doc¬ 
ument in his possession. That night the initiation took place in the 
study room of Bros. Green and Grandle. 

It was no widely known or elaborately prepared event. There was no 
sumptuous banquet, or toasts by chosen and witty speakers. But, as 
the beautiful and expressive words and ennobling sentiments of the 
ritual were quietly and impressively read can any one doubt that the 
spirit of loyalty and devotion which has brought forth such abundant 
fruit was born in the heart of every initiate. 

The founding of Alpha Tau Omega but a year previous caused frat 
men to look askance at any attempt to establish another fraternity, 
19 ( 289 )

and the newcomer did not meet with a very cordial reception. But 
in spite of the obstacles thrown in the way, the men set to work 
with characteristic earnestness and the chapter’s growth has been 
rapid and almost phenomenal. About the first step was to secure and 
comfortably furnish a hall for chapter meetings. This hall was used for 
about three years, when the chapter moved into larger and more com¬ 
modious quarters which have been handsomely furnished. From the 
first the chapter has tried to keep the moral and intellectual, as well as 
the social standard high and in this respect has been very succesful. 
Notwithstanding the opposition encountered at first, a high average of 
scholarship has been maintained, and nearly every important honor in 
the school has, at some time, been held by Delta’s men. The first note¬ 
worthy success was first place in the oratorical contest, won by Bro. 
Morris L. Barr in 1890. The same honor was secured by Bro. G. K. 
Denton the next year, and the third year second and third places fell to 
Delta’s men. 

While the advancement of the local chapter has received the greater 
share of attention, the members of the chapter have also taken great 
interest in the onward progress of the general fraternity. Especially 
have they been interested in extension and their efforts in that direction 
have been rewarded by the establishment, under her auspices, of a 
chapter at the Ohio State University. 

The relations sustained with the other chapters at the University are, 
as a rule, of the most friendly nature. When there is so much competi¬ 
tion, there is naturally considerable rivalry felt. In most cases, all con¬ 
tests of this kind have ended pleasantly and very often to the advan¬ 
tage of Delta. 

So far the chapter has escaped all the internal troubles that so 
often wreck the best of chapters and render fraternity life miserable. 
Delta has no expulsions to record, but, on the other hand, a remarkable 
harmony and unity of purpose has ever prevailed among her members. 
Of the record made up to this time no future wearer of the purple and 
gold at this institution need ever be ashamed. Numbers of the faculty 
have often advised students to join Sigma Alpha Epsilon in preference 
to all others and it is our boast that no member of the chapter has ever 
been disciplined for misconduct of any kind. Of the future little need 
be said. Delta’s prospects were never brighter nor continued success 
more assured. She has gained a place, honored and respected by all, and 
it may safely be said that the banner of Sigma Alpha Epsilon will never 
be lowered at the Ohio Wesleyan University. 

Eight other fraternities have chapters at Ohio Wesleyan: Sigma 
Chi, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Tau Delta, 
Phi Gamma Delta, Chi Phi, and Alpha Tau Omega. 


OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY.

OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY. 


The history of the Ohio Wesleyan University may be dated from the year 1841. At 
that time Rev. Adam Poe, recognizing the great need of a Methodist University in 
Central Ohio,submitted to the Ohio and North Ohio Conferences a proposition made 
by the citizens of Delaware to buy the Sulphur Springs property as a site for such an 
institution. In the Spring of 1842 the Legislature granted a charter to the Ohio 
Wesleyan University, fixing its seat at Delaware, and vesting its management in a board 
of twenty-one trustees, who were to be elected by the patronizing conferences. Not, 
however, until 1844 did the school really begin. In that year it opened its doors with 
an enrollment of twenty-nine students and a faculty of five professors. Rev. Edward 
Thomson, D. D., was placed at the head of the institution. 

From among the members of the first faculty, Dr. W. G. Williams was appointed 
principal of the preparatory department. During the following year, Rev. Frederick 
Merrick and Dr. Lorenzo McCabe were added to the roll of instructors. These three 
men, Drs. Williams, McCabe and Merrick, have sustained their relations to the Uni¬ 
versity through prosperity and adversity for almost half a century, and to them is 
largely due the present prosperity of the school. 

Until the year 1851 the school confined itself to the narrow limits of the old hotel, 
but in that year a spirit of progress struck the University and soon chapel, library and 
museum buildings were erected, the campus was laid out in an artistic manoer. 

In 1877 the question of coeducation was satisfactorily settled by the addition to the 
University of the Wesleyan Female Seminary, situated in the western portion of town, 
and owning a fine building and about ten acres of land. After the union with the 
University the applications of young ladies became so numerous that the building was 
soon crowded to its utmost, and at the present time about two hundred and fifty 
young ladies find there a temporary home. 

Rev. Edward Thomson remained president of the University until the year 1860, when 
he was called by the church to another field of labor, and Rev. Frederick Merrick was 
elected to fill the vacant position. Dr. Merrick occupied this until 1873, when he re¬ 
signed and accepted the position of lecturer on natural and revealed religion. The 
presidency was not filled again until 1875, when Dr. Chas. H. Payne was called upon 
by the trustees to fill the office. In 1888 he was also changed to another branch of 
church work, and soon afterwards the present president of the university, Rev. J. W. 
Bashford, was elected to the position. 

The new Chapel is the “pride” of the Ohio Wesleyan University. The success of 
this enterprise is due to the generosity of Hon. D. S. Gray, of Columbus, and to the 
untiring zeal and energy of President Bashford. The building is constructed of Amherst 
buff sandstone and is 160 ft. long by 150 ft. wide, and four stories high. The seating 
capacity is about two thousand seven hundred, and the total cost, including the fur¬ 
nishing, will be $140,000. It is undoubtedly one of the best equipped college 
buildings in America. The University has to-day an enrollment of thirteen hundred, 
with forty-one instructors. The value of the property and endowments is estimated 
at nearly nine hundred thousand dollars.

OHIO EPSILON. 


Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the second general fraternity to make its 
appearance at the University of Cincinnati. 

In 1889, Joseph B. Strauss, then a Sophomore, recognizing the ad¬ 
vantage of a chapter of another fraternity at the University of Cincin¬ 
nati, and having learned of Sigma Alpha Epsilon through Henry 
Daumenbaum, Ya. Pi, united with himself for the establishment of a 
chapter, Charles A. Bubenstein, Irving McAvoy, Paul A. Heinrichsdorf, 
Gilbert L. Bailey, and Louis C. Fritch. A charter was granted them and 
on Nov. 22, 1889, Strauss and Bailey were initiated by Province Archon, 
John D. Focht, of Ohio Alpha Alumnus. Later, these two revealed the 
mysteries to the other candidates. All the men stood high socially and 
intellectually, which fact is proved by the warm reception and banquet 
given the new initiates by the other fraternity men of the University. 

During the first year a neat chapter hall was fitted up on Ninth St., 
and three new names were added to the roll. 

The work of Ohio Epsilon may be seen from the individual records. 
There has never been a time when she has not been represented on the 
“McMicken Beview,” and in every field day, on every foot ball or base 
ball team, her members have nobly acquitted themselves. To Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon belongs the honor of having the first winner of the Jones 
Senior Oratorical Prize. 

The charter members, almost without exception, held some class 
office or position of honor at the time of their initiation, and those who 
have since become members of the chapter seem to be specially endowed 
with those qualities which obtain for them the important offices of the 
school. Twice have members of the chapter born off the highest honors, 
and several others have graduated with distinction. Since the policy of 
the chapter has been each year to secure not more than three or four 
new men and to thoroughly imbue them with the fraternity spirit, the 
number in the chapter at one time has never been more than twelve, • 
and thus harmony has been preserved. 

The list of Ohio Epsilon’s Alumni is not a long one, but several of the 
names thereon are already well known in Cincinnati, and their posses¬ 
sors are rapidly climbing the ladder of success. 

The other fraternities in the University are Sigma Chi and Beta Theta 
Pi. Two sororities are also represented, Delta Delta Delta and Y. C. P. 
Inter-fraternal relations are usually very cordial.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI. 


The University of Cincinnati was organized under an act passed by the Ohio State 
Assembly, April 16, 1870, and entitled “ An act to enable cities of the first class to aid 
and promote education.” Its success is largely due to the fnunificence of Charles Mc- 
Micken. He was born in Bucks county, Pa., on the 23d of November, 1782; when of 
age he set out for +he West, and after a while embarked in the business of shipping 
cotton, and it was here that he accumulated his large fortune. 

In 1840 he established himself on the McMicken homestead, and it is on these 
grounds that the Academic Department now stands. Charles McMicken died March 30, 
1858. In his will he bequeathed the bulk of his property to the city of Cincinnati for 
the purpose of establishiug an institution where the students should “receive the ben¬ 
efit of a sound, thoiough and practical English education, and such as might fit them 
lor the active duties of life, as well as instruction in the higher branches of knowledge, 
except denominational theology, to the extent that the same are now or may hereafter 
be taught in any of the secular colleges or universities of the highest grade in the 
country.” 

This bequest, by which about $600,000 were finally realized, was accepted by the 
city of Cincinnati under the act of Assembly of 1870, and steps were at once taken to¬ 
ward establishing the University of Cincinnati. In 1876 formal possession was taken 
of the buildings now used by the Academic Department. Since then the University 
has been further endowed by other liberal citizens. The University is one of two in 
the country supported in part by city taxation. Tuition is free to residents. 

The control of the University is committed to a board of nineeteeu directors, of 
which the mayor of the city is a member ex-officio. The others are appointed by the 
common council. 

It offers the following courses of four years each : a course leading to the degree of 
Bachelor of Arts ; a course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Letters ; six courses 
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, which respectively make a specialty of 
mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, physics and civil engineering. For the 
degree of C. E. a course of five years is necessary. It also offers post-graduate courses 
leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Letters, Master of Science, and Doc¬ 
tor of Philosophy. 

Affiliated with the Academic Department under the name of the University of Cin¬ 
cinnati are the Miami Medical College, founded 1852; the Medical College of Ohio, es- 
,, tablished 1819 ; the Clinical and Pathological School of the Cincinnati Hospital, 
founded 1821 ; the Ohio College of Dental Surgery, founded 1845, and the Cincinnati 
College of Pharmacy, founded 1871. There is an average annual enrollment of 800 
students in all the departments of the University. 

It is probable that before two years have passed the University will remove to Bur¬ 
net Woods Park, one of the suburbs, where a tract of forty-four acres has been set aside 
for it by the city. Many new departments will then be added, and the endowment 
will undoubtedly be considerably increased. Under the presidency of Ex-Governor 
Cox, the University has made rapid strides and established itself on a high plane. Its 
alumni have already done much to help the University by the high stand they have 
taken in the educational world.

OHIO THETA. 


In 1891 the Atlanta convention of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity- 
granted a charter for a chapter at the Ohio State University. No op¬ 
portunity for its establishment presented itself until the Spring of 1892. 

W. L. Cleland, one of the charter members of Ohio Theta, had 
been a student at Mt. Union College, Ohio, where he was solicited to 
join Ohio Sigma. Although he did not become a member at that time, 
he still retained the friendship and confidence of his Sig friends at Mt. 
Union. It was through his correspondence, during the Winter of 1892, 
with Bro. J. H. Focht, of Ohio Alpha Alumnus, and Lyndale Smith, of 
Ohio Sigma, that Bro. A. M. Austin, of Ohio Delta, then president of 
Province D, came to Columbus, Ohio, by appointment, and met the 
prospective members of the new chapter. All things being satisfactory, 
Ohio Theta was instituted on the evening of June 3d, 1892, by dele¬ 
gates from Ohio Sigma, Delta, Alpha Alumnus, and Epsilon. The new 
chapter started out with fourteen charter members, including two 
Juniors, eight Sophomores and four Freshmen. The school year be¬ 
ing so near its close, nothing but the organization of the chapter 
could be accomplished. On the opening of the University in the Au¬ 
tumn of 1892, the chapter started out with thirteen of its charter mem¬ 
bers, Bro. Alanson Hercules having accepted the position of professor 
of mathematics at the Florida Normal School. The number of mem¬ 
bers increased to sixteen by the beginning of 1893. On the opening of 
the ..Winter term, 1893, seven months after her establishment, Ohio 
Theta occupied a chapter house, being the second out of a total of 
eleven fraternities at Ohio State University to occupy a home. Ohio 
Theta has the future in which to make her history. The charter mem¬ 
bers were W. L. Cleland, W. N. Zurfluh, Alanson Hercules, It. E. 
Manley, E. W. Stull, K. D. Swartzell, F. E. Kester, A. S. Pearl, Y. B. 
Co veil, W. J. McAllen, G. E. Hayward, F. C. Miller, C. M. Lott, and E. 
G. Swartzell. 

The fraternities represented at the Ohio State University are: Phj 
Gamma Delta, the pioneer chapter, which entered in 1878; Phi Kappa 
Psi, coming in 1880; Sigma Chi, 1882 ; Chi Phi, 1883 ; Beta Theta Pi r 
1885; Kappa Kappa Gamma, 1888; Sigma Nu, 1891; Kappa Alpha. 
Theta, Alpha Tau Omega, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1892.

OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. 


Under an act of Congress, passed July 2, 1862, the State of Ohio received from the 
United States a large grant of the public lands for the purpose of establishing a 
“college where the leading objects shall be, without excluding other scientific and 
classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as 
are related to agriculture and the mechanical arts, in such a manner as the legislatures 
of the States may respectively prescribe.” In accordance with this act, the Ohio State 
University was founded by the State as a public institution of learning. The governing 
body of the institution is a board of trustees, appointed by the Governor of the State for 
a term of seven years, as provided in the law organizing the University. The original 
endowment has been supplemented, and the objects of the University promoted by a 
permanent annual grant from the United States, under an act of 1890, by special appro¬ 
priations of the General Assembly and lastly, since 1891, by a permanent annual tax 
which yields about one hundred thousand dollars from the taxable property in the 
State. 

In accordance with the spirit of the law under which it is organized, the University 
aims to furnish ample facilities for liberal education in the arts and sciences and for 
thorough technical and professional study of agriculture, engineering in its various 
departments, veterinary, medicine, pharmacy and law. The University comprises 
the Collegiate Department, the Law School, and a Preparatory Department. The 
latter is soon to be abolished. The Law School has a special faculty, distinct from 
the university faculty. The Collegiate Department embraces the following schools: 
Arts and Philosophy, Science, Agriculture, Engineering, Pharmacy, and Veterinary 
Medicine. Each school is under the direction of a standing committee of the faculty, 
which has power to act in all matters pertaining to work of students in the school, in 
the transfer of students from one school to another, and in matters of minor discipline. 

The University is situated within the corporate limits of the city of Columbus, two 
miles north of the Union Depot and about three miles from the State Capitol. The 
university grounds consist of three hundred and thirty acres. The Ohio State Uni¬ 
versity has nine buildings devoted to class and lecture-room work, comprising the 
University Hall which is used as an administration building, containing the president’s 
office, the chapel and a large number of lecture rooms and several laboratories; the 
mechanical building containing a machine shop, foundry, forge room and lecture room; 
the electrical building which is used exclusively for electrical experiments; the chem¬ 
ical building containing the departments of General, Agricultural and Mining Chem¬ 
istry and Metallurgy and Pharmacy; Hayes’ Hall which has recently been erected for 
a manual training building; the veterinary hospital; the horticultural,and botanical 
buildings occupied by the agricultural department, and the yet unfinished museum and 
library which bears the name of Dr. Edward Orton, a former president of the University. 
The law department is not located upon the university grounds, but occupies lecture 
and recitation rooms near the center of the city of Columbus at the Court House of 
Franklin County. 

The University is comparatively a young school. It was first opened in the Autumn 
of 1872, and graduated its first class in 1878. The number of students for the school 
year of 1892-3 reached eight hundred, and the number of instructors was sixty-eight. 
The rapid growth, liberal endowment and high standard of the Ohio State University 
promise for it a place among the leading universities of the country.

OHIO SIGMA. 


Ohio Sigma chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity was organ¬ 
ized April 4, 1885. Ten years previous to this time there had been es¬ 
tablished at the college a chapter of Delta Tau Delta. This chapter 
grew very rapidly and soon was a strong organization; however, her 
members became dissatisfied with the general Delta Tau Delta frater¬ 
nity and in 1884 the chapter, as a whole, resigned from it. The organi¬ 
zation remained intact under the name of the “Sigma Boys.” This 
latter name is one well remembered about the college, for it represented 
a crowd of strong, manly men, whose influence was a potent factor in 
college life. But feeling that it was desirable to be connected with 
some general fraternity, after due deliberation, it was determined to 
ask for a charter from Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Accordingly, on the 18th 
day of March, 1885, application was made through Capt. B. J. Owen, of 
Ivy. Chi, to the Grand Chapter for a charter to initiate the Sigma 
Boys into membership in the fraternity. The charter was finally 
granted and Capt. Owen was authorized to establish the proposed chap¬ 
ter. Thirteen worthy devotees were led to Minerva’s shrine, and re¬ 
ceived from the hand of the fair goddess the goblet filled with inspira¬ 
tion and fraternal good will. Thus Ohio Sigma was built, not on the 
ruins, but on the strength of a mighty chapter of another fraternity. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, however, disclaims any part in the interrup¬ 
tion of the relations between the chapter and its former allegiance. 

Those initiated as charter members were Thomas E. Cramblet, J. C. 

, Boyd, C. C. Carroll, W. S. Fritch, H. C. Hartshorn, W. J. Johnson, S. 
A. Kirkbride, H. E. Niesz, E. B. Conklin, W. S. O’Neal, I. M. Cook, W. 
C. De Ford, and Geo. M. Spiegel. The chapter at once started on a ca¬ 
reer of usefulness. Soon the membership was increased to seventeen, 
and a well furnished hall secured for holding meetings. 

Through the influence and earnest work of Ohio Sigma eight chapters 
of Sigma Alpha Epsilon have been installed. For a time this chapter 
was the only one in the North. She stood alone, but ere long others 
were established in institutions not far distant. 

During the’years 1887-1892 she was the Grand Chapter of Province 
“ D.” Her work in this capacity was earnest, able and effective. 

Her men have always been of a high standard. Many honored names 

( 304 )

grace her roll; the most prominent is that of Major William McKinley, 
Jr., Governor of the State of Ohio. His fame as an orator and states¬ 
man is not included within sectional limits. Sigma’s Alumni are found 
in every profession and vocation of life. 

Ohio Sigma has but one rival, Alpha Tau Omega, established in 1882. 
There is also a chapter of Delta Gamma sorority, established the same 
year.

MOUNT UNION COLLEGE. 


Mount Union College had its origin in a small seminary established in 1846, by 
O. N. Hartshorn, D. D., LL. D. The seminary opened with six students, but so rapid 
was the increase that in 1849, sixty-eight were enrolled. The primary object of the 
school was to impart thorough, patriotic, Christian instruction, without any sectarian 
bias. 

In 1850 a normal department was established to provide for the pressing demand for 
trained teachers. This department grew rapidly, and in 1851, necessitated the erection 
of more commodious buildings. The enrollment in 1851-2 was 211. 

In 1858 the institution was chartered as Mount Union College. It is located at Alli¬ 
ance, Stark Co., a town of about 10,000 inhabitants. The campus contains fifty-four 
acres, situated on an elevated plateau. There are four college buildings. The large 
central building was completed in 1864 at a cost of $100,000, raised by contributions 
from the people of Alliance and vicinity. In it are the recitation rooms, society halls 
and chapel. The other buildings are a ladies’ hall, gymnasium and presidents’ resi¬ 
dence. The library contains several thousand volumes. All college property is held 
in trust by a board of trustees. 

The institution is coeducational. The degrees conferred are Bachelor of Arts, 
Bachelor of Philosophy, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Commercial Science, Mistress 
of Liberal Art, Mistress of English Literature ; also, Master of Arts, Master of Science, 
and Doctor of Philosophy. 

The College has a liberal art department, normal department, music department, fine 
art department, business department, and preparatory department. 

The first president was Dr. O. N. Hartshorn, to whose indomitable energy is owed 
much of the prosperity of the College. He retired in July, 1887, and in November of 
the following year was succeeded by the present incumbent, Dr. Tamerlane Pliny 
Marsh. Among the benefactors of the institution, the most prominent one still living 
is Lewis Miller, of Canton, O.; Jacob Miller (deceased), of Canton, O., and C. Aultman 
(deceased), also of Canton, did much to bring the College to its present condition. 

An endowment of $200,000 has been raised. A new departure is the establishment of 
a Biblical Department ^nd Itinerant Club. Bishop John H. Vincent introduced this to 
provide ample facilities for Bible study. 

The College is well attended by students from Ohio, Pennsylvania and other neigh¬ 
boring States. The catalogue of 1891-2 shows an attendance of about 600. Already 
more than 18,000 have received more or less of their education here. Of this number 
about 250 have graduated with the degree, A. B., and the total number of graduates 
from all departments is 1,477. 

The academic year is divided into four terms—the entire year, except about three 
weeks in August, being devoted to college work. 

Military equipment valued at $5,000 is furnished by the United States Government. 
A regular army officer is detailed to teach and drill the students. The uniform used 
is the same as that used by the Cadets at West Point.

PENNSYLVANIA ALPHA ZETA. 


Pennsylvania Alpha Zeta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity 
stands to-day as an enduring monument to the untiring efforts of Bros. 
George H. Bunting and H. H. Cowan. The chapter was instituted on 
the night of May 13, 1892, when eight men were initiated into the 
mysteries of the Greek world. These charter members were Sidney 
Krumrine, P. B. Brenneman, J. F. Patrick, W. H. Rebhun, H. L. 
Wishart, R. S. Moore, J. I. Robison, and T. A. Robinson. The impres¬ 
sive exercises were concluded with a banquet at which Bros. Bunting, 
Cowan and others responded to toasts. In the addresses delivered, the 
past was, reviewed, the present was discussed and extensive lines of 
campaign were laid out for the future. 

The new chapter set to work immediately to secure excellent quarters 
and to “spike” men. The brothers worked well together and soon 
began to reap the fruits of their toil. The chapter at once gained re¬ 
cognition from the other fraternities in the College. The energy and 
ability of the members of the new chapter placed her in such a position 
as enabled her to take care of herself. Already a chapter house has 
been secured. It is a fine frame building, two and a half stories high, 
and contains eight sleeping rooms and a bath room up stairs, while on the 
first floor are a fine parlor, library, dining room and kitchen. The whole 
building is heated by hot air. 

Though herself a young chapter, Pennsylvania Alpha Zeta is already 
enlisted in the work of extension. Under her auspices Pennsylvania 
Zeta, at Bucknell, was established. 

Owing to anti-fraternity laws, no fraternities were represented in the 
College before 1886. These laws were then repealed and several chap¬ 
ters were planted in quick succession. Now six have chapters estab¬ 
lished: Phi Gamma Delta, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Chi, 
Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In addition to these there is 
also a flourishing chapter of Theta Nu Epsilon.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE. 


Pennsylvania State College is located at State College, Centre county. It had 
its origin in the year 1853, when the State Agricultural Society adopted measures to es¬ 
tablish an agricultural school. As a result, “The Farmers’ High School ” was incor¬ 
porated April 13, 1854. The Society donated to the school $10,000 and 200 acres of 
land in Centre county, in addition to which Centre county gave $10,000 to purchase 200 
acres more. In 1857 the Legislature granted $50,000 for the support of the school on 
condition that a like sum be obtained by private donation. The school was formally 
opened in 1859 with a total attendance during the year of one hundred and twenty- 
three students. In 1861 the Legislature granted another $50,000, and the following 
year the name was changed to “Agricultural College of Pennsylvania.” 

At a later date the institution received the sum of $439,186.80 from the sale of the 
United States land scrip. Of this sum $44,000 were spent to purchase an experimental 
farm, and in 1872 the Legislature raised the endowment to an even half million. In 
1874 the name was again changed to “ Pennsylvania State College.” Up to that time 
the average attendance was about 75. Since that the average has been about 250. 

The institution is amply endowed, and many handsome buildings grace the campus, 
which consists of 75 acres. The main building is a handsome six-^tory edifice, built of 
gray limestone. The new engineering building is an imposing structure of brownstone 
and pressed brick. The armory, gymnasium and chemical, physical, botanical, me¬ 
chanical, and civil engineering laboratories are well equipped. New preparatory build¬ 
ings are to be erected. There are twelve professors’ residences and a cottage for young 
ladies. 

Beyond the athletic field is the 100 acre farm of the State Agricultural Experiment 
Station, with its laboratory buildings, barns and dairy. 

The courses provided for cover a broad field of technical and intellectual sciences, and, 
in the particular courses, are thorough and closely adhered to. The courses are as fol¬ 
lows : Biology, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering. Civil En¬ 
gineering, Literature and Arts, Music, Languages, Mining Engineering, Latin Scientific, 
Genera] Scientific, and Agriculture. In these and the special courses are engaged 
about 300 students and the number is rapidly increasing. 

In athletics the college holds an enviable record, among her foot ball trophies being 
the State Inter-Collegiate pennant of 1891. General athletics and base ball are also 
among her strong points. The system of compulsory gymnasium work tends to better 
the whole body of students physically. 

The organ of the students is The Free Lance, a monthly publication, in addition to 
which the two literary and three technical societies each have their own publications, 
and the L a Vie , published annually by the Juniors, holds a high place among the col¬ 
lege annuals of the country. 

Tne professors and instructors number thirty-four, and are under the superintendence 
of Geo. W. Atherton, LL. D., who ranks among the leaders in the educational circles 
of the State.

PENNSYLVANIA DELTA. 


The history of Pennsylvania Delta, at Gettysburg-, is unsurpassed in 
interest by that of any chapter of the fraternity. The geographical lo¬ 
cation of the chapter, the conditions under which it was established, its 
heroic struggle for existence, its downfall and final resuscitation, bring 
to mind not only the most vital issue the fraternity has been compelled 
to meet, but also the questions which for years convulsed the entire 
American nation. 

The founding of Pennsylvania Delta was, in a certain sense, an exper¬ 
iment. Previous to the time of her founding no attempt had ever been 
made to plant a chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon north of the Mason and 
Dixon Line. The fraternity originated in the South, and if those by 
whom its infancy had been rocked, and under whose loving care and 
sacrificing labors it had been raised to honor and influence, thought its 
mission could best be fulfilled by confining it to the land of its birth, 
who can censure them for opposing northern extension? For some 
years prior to Delta’s founding the question of northern extension had 
been agitating the fraternity. When, in June, 1883, the new chapter 
was added to the roll, that question was yet unsettled. Many of the 
older chapters opposed any extension north of the Mason and Dixon 
Line, and, consequently. Delta did not receive the sympathy and earnest 
support of the united fraternity. 

The chapter was organized by R. H. Snively, of Kentucky Chi, with 
Henry B. Cline, Frank E. Warren, R. R. D. Cline, and John F. Foust as 
charter members. The college year was rapidly drawing to a close, so 
that no active work could be commenced by the chapter before the 
opening session of 18834. But unforeseen circumstances prevented 
Bros. Warren and Foust from returning to college, and thus only two 
members remained to carry the banner of the “purple and gold.” The 
history of the chapter through this year is one of successive trials and 
disappointments. That cordial welcome which the chapters of Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon usually accord a new sister was lacking, not because of 
any ill-feeling toward the college or the members of the chapter, but be¬ 
cause of her northern position: she was planted beyond the limits 
which many had prescribed for the fraternity, and, if not crushed, sec- 
21 ( 321 )

tional limits would have to be abolished. It was a struggle, not merely 
for the life of the chapter, but also for the future course of the fraternity. 

In addition to this disunion, the chapter had to struggle with dif¬ 
ficulties arising from her own surroundings. Already five fraternities 
had been established in the college, and, in addition to this, there was 
a strong anti-fraternity feeling among the “ barbs.” Delta struggled 
heroically to gain a firm footing, but no sister chapter of Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon stood by her side to give her friendly counsel or lend her a. 
helping hand. Isolated from all other chapters, with foes without and 
dissentions within, she was left to fight her battles alone. Nobly she 
set to work and won the applause of foes as well as of friends. With 
only two men to begin with, before the close of the year several addi¬ 
tional names had been added to her roll; however, many of these re¬ 
mained in college but a short time. By October, 1884, eight had been 
added, making a total of twelve initiates. But the struggle was against 
fearful odds, and in the Autumn of 1884, the chapter succumbed to the 
inevitable. Thus, into temporary repose sank a chapter, ill-timed and 
unfortunate in its founding, but honorable and heroic in its brief exis¬ 
tence. 

Those who considered the downfall of this chapter the death blow to 
northern extension were soon undeceived. The character of the Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon fraternitj r had destined it to over-reach sectional limits. 
In the ever memorable convention of 1885, held at Nashville, Tenn. v 
after one of the ablest and most spirited debates ever brought out by 
any question in college fraternity circles, it was decided that all barriers 
to northern extension should be removed. 

Locality being no longer an argument against a chapter at Gettys¬ 
burg, it was considered especially appropriate that the chapter be re¬ 
vived. The name of the village is one that will ever be memorable in 
the annals of the world. Here fought and bled and died many thousands 
of America’s choicest heroes, all gallantly fighting in what later events 
proved to be the turning battle of a civil war of such magnitude as to 
appall even the most warlike of the nations of the earth. The issues of 
that conflict being laid aside forever, it was deemed especially fitting 
that Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a child of the South, should float her banner 
over this historic spot, and under her benign influence, what was once 
the scene of carnage should be transformed to soil where the Brother of 
the South would greet the Brother of the North, all the more affection¬ 
ately because of the experience of the past. That all sectional differ¬ 
ences have long since been laid aside by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon 
fraternity, Penna. Delta to-day is an irrefutable witness. 

Circumstances did not seem to justify any attempt to revive the 
chapter until the early part of the year 1893. Geo. P. Singer, of Pa.

Sig-ma Phi, through some intimate friends then at Gettysburg, succeeded 
in forming a nucleus for reorganization. Soon four men were pledged, 
and preparations made for re-establishing the chapter. 

On the morning of May 10, Bros. Ames, Huntley, Singer, VanBurka- 
low, Smith, Taylor, Mitchell, Evans, Andrew, and DeGroot, boarded 
the train at Carlisle, en route for Gettysburg. The Bros, to be initiated 
met the visiting Bros, at the depot, and after dinner all took a delightful 
drive over the battlefield. 

At ten o’clock that night all assembled in the spacious and elegantly 
furnished halls of the J. O. U. A. M., and the exercises of the evening 
were begun. Bros. J. C. Grimes, G. D. Danner, J. T. Povall, and W. R. 
McCartney were initiated into the mysteries of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 

At the conclusion of the initiatory services a chapter meeting was 
called and the regular officers were elected. After a brief business 
session, congratulations, speeches, etc., were in order, which being over, 
the exercises of the evening were at an end. 

Since the chapter’s installation, two additional names have been added 
to the roll, and the prospects for the future are flattering. Her rivals 
are chapters of Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, and 
Alpha Tau Omega. Interfraternal relations are harmonious, though at 
times there is, among the “ barbs,” considerable prejudice against the 
fraternities.

GETTYSBURG COLLEGE. 


In 1810 there was established at Gettysburg a school called Gettysburg Academy. 
After an existence of seventeen years, the academy was succeeded by a classical insti¬ 
tution called the “ Gettysburg Gymnasium.” The Lutherans, desiring to establish a 
school in which young men intending to enter their Theological Seminary at Gettys¬ 
burg might receive preparatoi'y training, purchased the Gymnasium in 1832, and 
changed its name to “ Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg.” The school was incor¬ 
porated under the laws of the State, and for a few years received some conditional aid 
from the Legislature. The first class graduated two years after the change of man¬ 
agement. 

The campus contains about six acres, and is well shaded with trees planted in 1839. 
The main building, now known as Dormitory Hall, was erected in 1836-8. It is of 
the Doric style of architecture, and its length is 150 feet. It contains eighty-six rooms 
for students, also the reading rooms of the literary societies. The other buildings are 
Recitation Hall, Brua Memorial Chapel, a laboratory, a gymnasium, and an observa¬ 
tory. The estimated value of the buildings is about $225,000. 

There was no endowed professorship previous to 1850. In that year Franklin and 
Marshall Colleges were consolidated, and the one-third Lutheran interest in Franklin 
was transferred to Gettysburg, endowing the Franklin Professorship. Several other 
professorships have since been endowed. By annual collections raised in the different 
Lutheran churches throughout the patronizing synods a considerable fund has been 
furnished the college. The combined college and society libraries aggregate about 
23,000 volumes. 

For many years the number of students never greatly exceeded one hundred, but 
with the growth of the Lutheran Church, the attendance has greatly increased. In 
1892-3 the number of students in all departments was about 250. 

Intimately associated with the college is the Theological Seminary of the General 
Synod of the Lutheran Church, with four professors, three lecturers, and about seventy 
students. 

The curriculum of the college furnishes a good preparation for professional work. 
Three degrees are conferred in cursu, viz.: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science ; and 
Doctor of Philosophy. 

During the sixty years of the institution’s existence as a college, there have been but 
four presidents, viz.: C. P. Krauth, D. D., (1834-50) ; H. D. Baugher, D. D., 
(1850-68) ; Milton Valentine, D. 1)., (1868-84) ; and M. W. McKnight, D. D., (1884—). 

After the battle of Gettysburg the college buildings were used as hospitals.

PENNSYLVANIA ZETA 


Pennsylvania Zeta, the youngest chapter of the fraternity, was or¬ 
ganized on the night of June 14, 1892. 

The location of Bucknell University, as well as the grade of the in¬ 
stitution, made it desirable to have a chapter planted there, and for 
some time the field was under close observation on the part of several 
members of the different neighboring chapters. At length, in the 
Spring of 1892, the favorable opportunity for establishing the proposed 
chapter arrived. 

Mr. J. M. Yastine, of Pennsylvania Alpha Zeta, became a student in 
Bucknell University, and he served as a medium through which an or¬ 
ganization was effected. 

Mr. J. I. Robison, also of Alpha Zeta, went to Lewisburg for the pur¬ 
pose of looking over the field for material, and in a short time he and 
Bro. Yastine had secured the cooperation of six of the students of 
Bucknell, all of whom were anxious to enjoy the benefits of Greek-fra- 
ternity life. 

These six men were initiated on the night of June 14th, by Bros. Rob¬ 
ison and Yastine, and the new chapter received the name of Pennsylva¬ 
nia Zeta, so-called from the name of the chapter under whose auspices 
it was founded. On the charter are found the names of J. M. Yastine, 
P. B. Cregar, B. K. Brick, W. T. Paulin, Jr., F. W. Brown, W. J. Lewis > 
and H. B. Moyer. 

The chapter has had no time yet for any active work. But the mem¬ 
bers are men of influence, all standing well in the class room, as well as 
being prominent in the various organizations connected with college 
life. 

The history of the chapter is yet to be made. The present is flatter¬ 
ing, and the future is fully as bright. 

The other fraternity chapters at Bucknell are, Gamma, of Phi Kappa 
Psi (1855); Kappa, of Sigma Chi (1864); Delta, of Phi Gamma Delta 
(1882). Theta Delta Chi had a chapter here from 1866 to 1871.

BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY. 


In 1846 the Legislature of Pennsylvania incorporated the present Bucknell Uni¬ 
versity under the name of the University of Lewisburg. In 1886 the trustees changed 
the name to Bucknell University, in honor of Mr. William Bucknell, its most liberal 
benefactor. The institution is located at Lewisburg, a quiet, healthful town, near the 
geographical center of the State, on the West Branch of the Susquehanna river. 

The work of the College is entirely non-professional. In the earlier years of its ex¬ 
istence it had connected with it a Theological Seminary, but that has been removed to 
Upland. 

There are three separate departments: The College, the Academy and the Institute. 
The three schools are under the same board of trustees. The College offers three four- 
year courses : The Classical, leading to the degree of A. B.; the Philosophical, leading 
to the degree of Ph. B., and the Scientific, leading to the degree of B. S. In this de¬ 
partment there are ten professors. 

The Academy is a feeding school for the College, and the Institute offers to young 
women three courses of study, each extending over five years. 

The College building is situated on a hill which rises one hundred feet above the Sus¬ 
quehanna river. It has a facade of three hundred and twenty feet. Bucknell hall is 
used as a chapel. The observatory was constructed in 1887, and the laboratory in 
1890. The buildings of the Academy and the Institute are spacious and well equipped. 

The general library contains about 13,000 volumes. A reading room, supplied with 
the leading scientific, literary and philological reviews, journals of art and papers of 
the day, is maintained by the University, and is open during the entire day. The 
museum contains more than 10,000 botanical, mineralogical and zoological specimens. 

The laboratories are well equipped and afford superior advantages for the study of 
chemistry and physics. 

The president is John Howard Harris, Ph. D., LL. D. Of the other prominent mem¬ 
bers of the faculty may be named Prof. Freeman Loomis, Ph. D., and Prof. George G. 
Groff, M. D., LL. D. 

During the year 1892-3, the total attendance in all departments was 351. Of this number 
144 were in the College, 75 in the Academy and 133 in the Institute. The students in 
all departments are stimulated to careful work by various prizes. Many scholarships 
are provided, some of which are available only to those students who are preparing for 
the ministry. 

The University is under the control of the Baptist Society, and many of the alumni 
are now in the ministry of that denomination. About 450 students have graduated 
from the College department. The institution is rapidly growing; its location is such 
that it commands the patronage of a large section of country. 

The University has received excellent support from its friends all over the State. 
The most liberal donor is Mr. William Bucknell, of Philadelphia, who has already 
given $115,000 for the general fund, and fully $25,000 for scholarships and prizes. The 
productive funds of the institution amount to more than $300,000.

PENNSYLVANIA SIGMA PHI. 


Pennsylvania Sigma Phi owes her existence and present position 
very largely to the energy and good judgment of Chester N. Ames, of 
the class of ’93. Bro. Ames was pledged to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, by 
letter, in the year 1886, while a student at the Western Maryland Col¬ 
lege, Westminster, Maryland, by his former chum, our loved brother, H. 
H. Cowan, at that time a student at Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan. 
Bro. Ames entered the Sophomore class of Dickinson College in the Fall 
of ’89, and devoted his spare time to watching the students and looking 
about for eligible men. 

Nothing definite was done toward the formation of a chapter until 
September, 1890, when Bro. Ames broached the matter of a new frater¬ 
nity to George P. Singer and Thurston M. Simmons, of the class of ’93. 
They, too, thought the existence of a new fraternity both possible and 
advisable, and they determined that before fair Luna should make her 
revolution many more times, the royal banner of S. A. E. should also be 
lifted up in the army of the “ Greeks.” 

Soon afterwards H. W. Westwood, of ’93, was pledged and later Elmer 
L. Cross, ’91, J. T. Yan Burkalow, Jr., ’93, and W. P. Brines, W. S. Snyder, 
A. M. Morgan, M. S. Kistler, and Jos. Clemens, all of the class of ’94. 

The next thing to be done was to draw up a petition to be sent to the 
proper authorities and this was done by Bro. Ames in the room of Bros. 
Simmons and Singer, number 38, East College, all the pledged men 
signing their names. 

Some weeks later the charter was granted and Bros. H. H. Cowan 
and S. H. Rinehart, both members of Michigan Alpha, came to Carlisle, 
October 11, 1890, to install the chapter. Bro. Cowan came from Pitts¬ 
burg, and Bro. Rinehart from Philadelphia, where he was at that time a 
student of the Hahnemann Medical College. They were taken to the 
residence of Bro. Ames in order to rest themselves and prepare for 
the arduous duty of initiating twelve men into the mysteries of S. A. E. 

At 9.30, in company with Bros. Cowan and Rinehart, the men wended 
their way down Louther street to Hanover and along Hanover to Main 
street until they reached the room just above the dry goods store of Mr. 
Kissel, on the corner of Main street and Market avenue. 

It was at this place, Saturday evening, October 11 that the mystic 
rites were performed and Sigma Phi made her appearance at Dickinson. 

( 330) 



DICKINSON COLLEGE. 


331 


At length rumor spread it to the breezes of that night that a new fra¬ 
ternity was about to be born, and by 12 o’clock it was known that Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon had entered Dickinson College. The strength and healthy 
appearance of this young rival for college honors quite surprised her 
sister chapters. Sigma Phi, however, received a cordial welcome into 
the college life of Dickinson. Being young and as yet untried, the year 
of ’90-1 was not marked by any aggressive action in college affairs on 
the part of Sigma Phi. 

A week after the initiation the rooms of Sigma Phi were changed to 
9 South Hanover street, where she was safely domiciled in two 
rooms on the third floor. Some few weeks after this Bro. S. A. Lewis, 
of the class of ’91, was taken into Sigma Phi as the last of her charter 
members. 

The Annual Convention of the fraternity was to meet in Cincinnati, 
Dec. 26, and, though young and by no means wealthy, Sigma Phi de¬ 
termined that she would be represented; accordingly, Bro. Elmer L. 
Cross was elected and went as her delegate. 

Feb. 8, ’91, Sigma Phi once again changed her place of residence and 
moved into the Bed Men’s Hall, which place she occupies to-day. In 
the June of ’91, Sigma Phi lost by graduation Bros. Cross and Lewis. 

During the year the duty of preparing the catalogue was given into 
the hands of Sigma Phi through the influence of Bro. Ames. Bro. 
Ames was elected Editor-in-Chief, but as he did not return to college in 
the Fall of ’92, Jos. Clemens was elected to the position. 

The year ’91-2 found all the members again in college except Bro. 
Ames. Four new men were captured, and Sigma Phi became more 
aggresive in college affairs, always endeavoring however to be, not an 
organization to be feared, but one to be respected. 

No men were lost by graduation this year, but at Christmas W. P. 
Brines of the Class of ’94 found it impossible to return. In the Fall of 
’92, Bro. Ames returned to college, and the chapter initiated six new 
men. With eighteen congenial members, Sigma Phi has passed the 
year ’92-3 in an active, enthusiastic life. Within the chapter the mem¬ 
bers have been true brothers, and without they have endeavored to do 
credit to the “purple and gold,” taking active interest in all phases of 
college life, intellectual, social and athletic. 

Dickinson has been for many years a strong fraternity college. When 
Sigma Phi entered, she found as her rivals Phi Kappa Psi (1859), Sigma 
Chi (1859), Theta Delta Chi (1861), Chi Phi (1861), Beta Theta Pi (1874), 
Phi Delta Theta (1880), and a local society, Alpha Zeta Phi. These are 
all yet existing except Chi Phi. Zeta Psi was formerly represented 
<1853-5.) The college has also a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

DICKINSON COLLEGE. 


The founding of Dickinson College, the second college in the State, was part of a 
scheme to stretch across the country a chain of colleges. Princeton in New Jersey was 
the first link, and Dickinson was placed at Carlisle, which in those days was the 
“far West,” as the second. There was considerable opposition to thus placing a col¬ 
lege so far out on the frontier; but His Excellency John Dickinson, in whose honor the. 
institution was named, succeeded in obtaining a charter Sept. 8, 1783. The College 
was organized under Presbyterian control, and so remained until 1834, when it passed 
into the hands of the M. E. Church. While in possession of the Presbyterians it re¬ 
ceived about $60,000 from the State. The new management, however, started just 
about free of debt, but has secured an endowment of $358,000. For nearly twenty years 
the college exercises were conducted iu a two-story brick building near the corner of Lib¬ 
erty alley and Bedford street. In 1798 the present college campus, comprising a 
whole square on the western limits of the town, was bought tor $150. Measures 
were immediately taken for the erection of a new building. When it was nearly com¬ 
pleted, it was destroyed by fire on February 3, 1803. In August, 1803, the first stone 
was laid for West College, which was occupied in a partially finished condition in 
September, 1805. It is one hundred and fifty by fifty-four feet, is four stories high, 
and contains Y. M. C. A. Hall, Society Halls, lecture rooms, and rooms for students. It 
is built of native limestone trimmed with red sandstone. 

South College, with a lot ninety feet by two hundred and forty, was purchased for 
grammar school purposes in 1835. East College was erected in 1836. It is built ot 
Native limestone on the parallelopiped model of college dormitories. It is one hundred 
and thirty feet by thirty-two, four stories high. Emory Hall, a large and beautiful 
building, situated on the N. E. corner of Pomfret and West streets, was given to the 
College in 1877. It was then used as a preparatory building, but is now known as the 
Law School. The Jacob Tome Scientific Building, erected in 1884, at a cost of $30,000, 
is built of native limestone trimmed with Ohio sandstone, and is one hundred and 
eighty-four by sixty-five feet. It is a handsome building, containing lecture rooms and 
laboratories for the departments of Physics and Chemistry. The center is occupied by 
a large and beautiful museum. A large and well equipped gymnasium was built in 
1884. An athletic field of five acres was purchased in 1889. The James Bosler Memo¬ 
rial Library Hall, built in 1885, at a cost of $75,000, is a fine monument of architec¬ 
ture, and contains libraries, reading room, waiting rooms and an audience room with a 
seating capacity of 1,000. The combined college and society libraries aggregate 33,000 
volumes. 

Provision is made for four under-graduate courses, viz : Classical, Latin Scientific, 
Greek Scientific, and Modern Language, the first leading to the degree of A. B., the 
other three, to Pli. B. Dickinson College was the third institution in America to es¬ 
tablish a Chair of the English Bible. Ample provision is made for post-graduate work. 
In 1890, the Reed Law School, one of the earliest Law Schools of the United States, was 
reorganized as a department of the College. The course of instruction covers two 
years’ work, and leads to the degree of LL. B. 

Under the presidency of Rev. Geo. E. Reed, D. D., LL. D., the College is making 
' rapid progress. The College faculty consists of twelve Professors ; the Law School 
and the Preparatory School each have four Professors. In 1892-3 the attendance in all 
departments was 327.

PENNSYLVANIA OMEGA 


Chapter Pennsylvania Omega, Allegheny College, was chartered 
March 1, 1887, and founded March 5, of the same year, by John H. 
Focht and William S. O’Neal, of Ohio Sigma, with eleven charter mem¬ 
bers, viz.: A. L. Boush, W. J. Booth, W. H. Marshall, F. H. McQuiston, 
D. W. Camp, W. W. Sachett, J. T. Odell, S. S. Sherwood, S. A. Tomes, 
C. S. Bowman and D. E. Wolfe. At first the outlook for Pennsylvania 
Omega was not the most promising, but soon the clouds of darkness- 
which overhung and shrouded her horizon were seen to break, and 
through them she could see a bright and glorious day. 

It is only fair to acknowledge here the cordialty and helpfulness of 
the chapters of Phi Delta Theta, and especially of Delta Tau Delta. 
The other chapters soon became friendly to the new-comer. 

Soon the new chapter was able to meet her sister chapters at Alle¬ 
gheny as “ Greek meets Greek.” Though young, she by no means al¬ 
lowed them to overcome her, but her members proudly carried the ban¬ 
ner of the “ purple and gold,” as became staunch and noble Sigs. In 
an incredibly short time she made her influence felt in fraternity 
circles, in the local college world and in the city. 

Omega found that the first thing necessary was to have a place for 
meetings, and without delay an elegant suite of rooms was secured. 
These rooms were nicely furnished, andmaintainedat a large expense. 

On the evening of the 18th of April, Pennsylvania Omega gave a recep¬ 
tion to the members of the other fraternities. This was her debut into so¬ 
ciety, and, to say the least, it was a thorough success in every particu¬ 
lar, and raised her in the estimation of all. 

The Fall term of ’87 opened with eleven loyal Sigs, and soon every 
thing looked bright for the future of the chapter. During the college 
year her boys secured their share of the honors in College. The next 
Fall, affairs in the fraternity were not so exhilerating as at the close of 
the preceding term, for only five members returned. After some active 
work in “ rushing ” four good men were initiated, and before commence¬ 
ment day five more were added. At the opening of the Fall term of ’89 
every man returned to college, and all seemed wild with enthusiasum. 
The chapter had ten men to begin the term with, and she was on a 
firm footing. A season of prosperity now set n and no chapter was 

(335 )

ever blessed with more success. She “ rushed ” and initiated those whom 
she wished, and before six weeks had passed five good men had been 
initiated. The main feature of the year was the entrance into a large 
and beatiful chapter house known as the “ Sigma Alpha Epsilon Place.” 

Three of the other fraternities here occupied chapter houses, and it 
was due Sigma Alpha Epsilon that Pennsylvania Omega should occupy 
a house, not inferior, but superior, to the other chapter houses at Old 
Allegheny. A beautiful home on Terrace Street, the most fashionable 
street in the city was rented and furnished, and only then were the ad¬ 
vantages of fraternity life fully realized. All the members lived and 
worked together. During the year 1889-90 ten men were initiated. 

The Fall of ’90 found the chapter in a flourishing condition, but every 
institution has at least one period during its existence when everything 
seems to be going wrong, and Pennsylvania Omega witnessed this 
disaster. The storm had been brewing for some time, and burst upon 
the chapter in the Spring of 1891. When the sunlight reappeared it was 
found that seven members had been expelled, nevertheless, the chapter 
continued to prosper, and before the close of the next year had fifteen 
members. At present the chapter is strong and vigorous, and compares 
most favorably with her rivals; in all elections and honors she is well 
represented. The present membership is fifteen. The chapter house, 
a two-story brick building, is situated at 563 Eandolph Street, and 
is without question the finest here. The furniture is valued at six hun¬ 
dred dollars. 

Omega has, as rivals, chapters of Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Gamma Delta* 
Delta Tau Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Kappa 
Kappa Gamma. Interfraternal relations are usually friendly. 


ALLEGHENY COLLEGE.

ALLEGHENY COLLEGE. 


Allegheny College was organized at Meadville, in 1815, by citizens of the village. 
In 1817 they obtained for their institution a liberal charter, and in 1820 laid the 
foundation of Bentley Hall. In 1833, by a contract between the trustees and the Pitts¬ 
burg Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the College came under 
the control and patronage of the Methodists of the central region. By successive divi¬ 
sions of the Pittsburg Conference, the control and patronage are now vested in the 
Pittsburg, Erie, East Ohio, and West Virginia Conferences. The contract between the 
Conferences and the trustees guarantees a liberal and unsectarian spirit in the manage¬ 
ment of the College, and the students always represent several religious denominations. 
The growth of the College has been steady. 

The college campus embraces thirteen acres on the north side of the city of Mead¬ 
ville, having an elevation of two hundred feet above the river; it is well shaded with 
trees, and has a beautiful outlook upon the city and the adjacent hills and valleys. In 
natural beauty the campus is very attractive. The town is one of the most healthful 
places in the country. 

There are four large buildings belonging to and used by the College. The corner¬ 
stone of Bentley Hall was laid July 6, 1820. It is the central building, and is three 
stories high above the basement. Rutler Hall was erected in 1855 and contains the 
museum, the library and the chapel. Hulings Hall is a large brick edifice, and is used 
as a home for young ladies. The Wilcox Hall of Science was erected in ’92 and ’93. It 
is a modern brick building, and is used for the sciences only. The building has a 
small amphitheatre for lectures. 

The College has four courses of study, three of which lead to the degree of Bachelor 
of Arts, and the fourth to the degree of Civil Engineer. The Classical Course combines 
all the excellencies of the time-honored classical course ; the Scientific Course requires 
the same preparation as the Classical, but French will be accepted in place of Greek ; 
the Course in Latin and Modern Languages requires the same preparation as the 
Classical, with this exception, that six terms of French are substituted for six terms of 
Greek in the second and third preparatory years. The three courses are enlarged by 
the addition of electives. The object of the engineering course is to fit young men 
for civil and mechanical engineering. 

All male students below the Junior class are required to take military instruction, 
unless excused by the faculty of the College. The battalion is divided into four com¬ 
panies, viz : A, B, C and D. The Cadets drill regularly twice each week. 

The faculty consisted of fourteen competent and thorough instructors. David 
H. Wheeler, LL. D., is president of the institution. 

The College Glee Club consists of twenty-three voices, and a Mandolin Club of eight 
pieces. The College Young Men’s Christian Association have three nicely furnished 
rooms in the west wing of Bentley Hall. The upper room is used as a meeting room ; 
the lower rooms are furnished for a reading room and an office. 

The number of students in attendance last year was three hundred and thirty-two.

SOUTH CAROLINA GAMMA. 


South Carolina Gamma’s history begins in 1885. On October 16, of 
that year, J. C. Jefferies, who had been initiated into Tenn. Nu, organ¬ 
ized a chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at Wofford College. 
Fourteen members were initiated, viz: M. H. Daniel, J. J. Gentry, M. 
W. Penrifoy, D. C. Roper, P. E. Rowell, Kemper D. Senn, R. L. Rogers, 
R. L. Rollings, B. W. Crouch, H. W. Crouch, R. L. Meares, C. M. Rizer, 
J. M. Wright, and D. J. Carter, Jr. No charter had yet been secured, 
but application was at once made to the Grand Chapter for one. Pro¬ 
tests were made against the granting of the charter. The G. C. agreed 
to give the new chapter three months’ trial, but soon issued the charter. 
Violent opposition from some of the other chapters of the fraternity made 
it expedient to withdraw the charter two months after it had been issued. 

No effort was made to re-organize Gamma until the Fall of 1890. Every 
charter member of ’85 had either graduated or left college. But in Oct., 
1890, Bros. Kemper D. Senn and Ben. W. Crouch, two of the old mem¬ 
bers who had dropped out of school for four years, returned to Wofford 
and determined to disinter, if possible, the corpse which they had seen 
go down to an untimely grave. In the meantime, the Delta Tau Delta 
fraternity had founded a chapter here, the members of M r hicli ranked 
among the foremost men of the college. They soon gave up their charter 
and sought refuge in the arms of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Bro. Jno. G. 
Capers went over to Spartanburg, from Greenville, accompanied by two 
or three S. C. Phi men, on February 24,1891, and proceeded to revive the 
long defunct S. C. Gamma, entrusting her sustenance to the following 
charter members and their successors: Kemper D. Senn, Ben. W. Crouch, 
J. L. Daniel, D. W. Daniel, Rob’t C. McRoy, J. C. Covington, W. D. 
Dent, C. P. Hammond, W. E. Willis, and L. H. Smith. 

No chapter ever started on its career with brighter prospects. No 
fraternity in the college has had more or higher honors conferred upon 
its men in so short a time. Like the noble order of which she is but a 
part, having gone through the valley of the shadow of death and tasted 
all the pains concomitant of that sore travail, she was all the stronger 
because of her misfortunes. 

Chapter meetings are held in a rented hall, which though not gorgeously, 
is comfortably and tastly furnished. At present the number of mem¬

WOFFORD COLLEGE. 


Wofford College is situated at Spartanburg, South Carolina, a town in the Pied¬ 
mont Belt of the upper section of the State. The institution owes its existence to Rev. 
Benjamin Wofford, an itinerant minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. 
In 1851 he generously offered the Methodists of South Carolina one hundred thousand 
dollars “for the purpose of establishing and endowing a college for literary, classical 
and scientific education, to be located in his native county, Spartanburg, and to be 
under the control and management of the Conference of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church, of his native State, South Carolina.” 

The college was chartered by the Legislature of the State, Dec. 16, 1851. The erec¬ 
tion of buildings was at once begun, and on Jan. 1, 1858, an ample college edifice, a 
president’s residence and four houses for professors were transferred to the board of 
trustees. The college exercises began Aug. 1, 1854. 

The faculty consists of seven professors. Prof. James H. Carlisle, LL. D., is the 
president. 

Two courses of study are established, each leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. 

The College has two literary societies, bearing the honored names of John C. Cal¬ 
houn and William C. Preston, respectively. 

Wofford Fitting School is properly a part of the College, though situated a half mile 
distant and partly under a different board of trustees. It is one of the most thorough 
and best equipped preparatory schools of the South. This school, like the College, has 
a beautiful and commanding site. The campus is large and on it are erected four 
large buildings. 

The faculty of the Fitting School consists of four professors ; Prof. A. G. Rembert, 
A. M., is Head-Master. 

In both schools the attendance is increasing. In 1892-3 one hundred and thirty 
nine students were in the College, and one hundred and one in the Fitting School.

SOUTH CAROLINA DELTA. 


On February 3,1882, application was made to the Grand Chapter, Ken¬ 
tucky Chi, by J. G. Glass, of Tenn. Omega, for a charter for a chapter 
of the fraternity, such chapter to be located at the South Carolina Col¬ 
lege, Columbia. About seventy-five students were in attendance at the 
college at that time, and there were but two Greek-letter fraternities 
represented, the Kappa Alpha, and Phi Kappa Psi. 

The charter was granted, and on the night of Feb. 28, Mr. Glass in¬ 
itiated Wm. St. C. Symmers and P. H. Burney. These two members 
formed a nucleus for the chapter. On the 3d of March, J. H. Little¬ 
john, W. A. McGowan, L. J. Massey, W. S. Jennings, and W. O. Nis- 
bet, were initiated. The chapter received the name of South Carolina 
Delta. 

Thus with a membership of seven Delta came upon the stage of ac¬ 
tion. That she played her part well is proved by what she has accom¬ 
plished for herself and for the general fraternity. 

At the time of her founding, the chapter of Kappa Alpha at S. C. Col¬ 
lege had a membership of twelve, and -was in a flourishing condition. 
Delta was ushered into existence with the hearty approval of the fac¬ 
ulty, thus gaining at once considerable prestige. Her members were 
of such a type as to command the highest respect of both faculty and 
students. Additional members were added from time to time during 
the year 1882, and ere the chapter was a year old she had far out¬ 
stripped her rivals. 

The membership since then has been composed of the brain and cul¬ 
ture of the college. While in college her sons have always taken fore¬ 
most rank in the class room, on the rostrum, and in society, and after 
graduating many of them have had signal success in life. As the chap¬ 
ter has had an existence of but little more than a decade, the success 
already achieved by them is but an earnest of what may reasonably be 
expected to follow in the years to come. 

The chapter has been actively enlisted in the cause of extension. 
The first college receiving her attention was Davidson, N. C., and, as a 
result, North Carolina Theta was added to Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s chap¬ 
ter roll. Fully six chapters of the fraternity owe their life directly or 
indirectly to Delta. In her capacity of Grand Chapter of Province 
“B” (1885-6), she exerted a healthful influence over the chapters under 
her jurisdiction.

Though for a short time past her membership has been rather small, 
she will begin the college year of 1893 ~4 with twelve loyal Sigs and will 
then again wield her old-time influence. 

South Carolina College has for many years been a coveted fraternity 
home. Delta Psi had a chapter here from 1850 to 1861. Delta Kappa 
Epsilon entered in 1852, but it also dropped out in 1861. Phi Kappa 
Psi entered in 1857, Chi Psi and Beta Theta Pi in 1858, and Theta 
Delta Chi in 1859. The chapters of the latter two were shortlived. 
Since the war the following have established chapters: Kappa Alpha 
(1880), Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1882), Phi Delta Theta (1882), Alpha 
Tau Omega (1883), Sigma Nu (1884), Chi Phi (1889), and Kappa Sigma 
(1890).

SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. 


On December 7, 1723, Rev. Thomas Morritt made proposals in the South Carolina 
Colonial Assembly for establishing a college. Nothing further was done in the matter 
until 1769, when the question was again brought up in the Colonial Assembly by Jobn 
Rutledge. This, too, came to naught, but it brought the subject of education before the 
minds of the people, and when Gov. Drayton, in his message to the Assembly in 1801, 
recommended the founding of a State College, he found the State fully prepared for the 
measure. The college was incorporated the same year, and with its charter, the Legis¬ 
lature granted $50,000 for buildings, and also voted that $16,000 be paid annually for 
salaries. 

By 1804 buildings were erected, and on Jan. 10, 1805, the doors were thrown open 
to the youth of the State. Rev. Jonathan Maxcy, was the first president, and William 
Harper, afterwards Chancellor of the State, was the first student registered. The an¬ 
nual commencements were attended by all the various officers of the State. 

In 1847 additional buildings were erected. At this time the attendance was 221. 
In 1851, one of the buildings was burned. Four years later Rutledge College and the 
Chapel also shared the same fate. 

In 1863 college exercises were suspended, and the buildings were taken possession 
of by the Confederate Government and used as a hospital until the close of the war. 
On the reopening of the institution in ’66, the name was changed to the University of 
South Carolina. The school now began to prosper, but in 1873, in consequence of the 
trustees opening the doors to all races, the old faculty resigned. 

The University was again closed in 1876. Two years later the charter was again 
amended, and the University divided into two branches, the one situated at Columbia, 
called the South Carolina College, and intended for the whites, the other at Orangeburg, 
called Calflin College, and to be attended by the blacks. 

The branch at Columbia reopened in 1880. Soon additional professors were appointed, 
and there were added departments of Ancient and Modern Languages, Philosophy, 
History and Political Science, Law and Pharmacy. 

In the charter, as amended in 1877, the name was changed to the University of South 
Carolina, but in 1890, the old name, South Carolina College, was again assumed. In 
1891 the College opened with ten professors and three adjunct professors. The courses 
provided for were the Classical, Literary, Scientific and Law. All the other depart¬ 
ments were discontinued. 

The College Library contains about 30,000 volumes. An excellent reading room is 
maintained. The two literary societies, the Euphradian and the Clariosophic are in a 
flourishing condition, and contribute largely toward the success of the work done in 
the College. 

The work done by the College is of a high grade. The checkered career of the in- „ 
stitution has somewhat interfered with its progress, but it is now on an excellent foot¬ 
ing. The total attendance for the year 1891-2, was about one hundred.

SOUTH CAROLINA LAMBDA. 


On Sept. 3d, 1882, a letter was sent to Capt. McBrayer, of the Grand 
Chapter, by J. H. Armstrong*, of Ga. Beta, stating that the writer, in 
conjunction with S. Y. Tupper, of Tenn. Nu, was anxious to found a 
chapter of the fraternity in the South Carolina Military Academy. The 
charter was granted and the chapter was to be called South Carolina 
Psi. This attempt at entering the academy was thwarted by the fac¬ 
ulty, anti-fraternity laws being then in force in the Academy. 

But the “Citadel” was soon stormed from another quarter. The 
South Carolina Delta boys, always noted for their enterprise and pluck, 
determined to float the banners of the fraternity over the stronghold. 
They were not ignorant of the anti-fraternity laws, but they knew 
that three other fraternities had sub rosa chapters here, and therefore 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon could have one, too. Accordingly, about the 
middle of November, 1883, Bros. Woodward and Scarborough were 
dispatched to Charleston to see what could be done. There they met 
Bro. A. H. Ashley, of Ga. Beta, and by skillful manoeuvering a sub rosa 
chapter was established with four members. The old charter having 
previously been canceled, a new one was granted on‘Dec. 13th, to Bro. 
Avery, and the name conferred was South Carolina Lambda. 

Little was done by the new chapter during 1883, but early in 1884 
she settled down to business, and by February the membership had 
been swelled to fifteen. But the work and progress of the chapter was 
much hindered by her sub rosa condition, and to obviate the difficulties 
thus arising it was proposed to disband the active chapter, and have 
the members consolidate with the alumni of the city, thus forming 
Lambda Alumnus Chapter. The advantage of doing this was that the 
veil of secrecy could be laid aside, for the students, as members of the 
fraternity, would no longer be under the ban of the anti-fraternity laws. 
Accordingly, on the 15th of March, 1884, Lambda was nominally dis¬ 
banded, and on Friday night, May 9, the disbanded chapter and the 
alumni met at the residence of K. S. Tupper, where the alumnus chap 
ter was organized. 

The remodeled chapter, called Lambda Alumnus, was now free from 
many difficulties, and, for a time, enjoyed all the privileges of an active 
chapter. But in Nov. of the same year the Alumnus Chapter was 

(357 )

formed, an ill wind began to blow. On the morning of the 2d of this 
month, the superintendent of the academy informed the students that 
the law concerning secret organization would be rigidly enforced. One 
after another of the chapters which had existed sub rosa disbanded, and 
the cadet part of Lambda Alumnus was compelled to withdraw from the 
chapter. The boys still remained Sigs at heart, and drew up a series 
of resolutions which they submitted to the fraternity at large, in which 
they expressed their deep sorrow at being compelled to withdraw from 
the chapter. The alumni retained the charter, and also the organiza¬ 
tion, and were always ready to welcome the Sig boys of the academy 
into their midst. 

From 1887 to 1890, the sub rosa organization existed in the academy, 
but the records of this period are vague. 

The other fraternities having had sub 7'osa chapters in the academy 
are Alpha Tau Omega (1882-4), Kappa Alpha (1883-90), Sigma Nu 
(1886-90), and Pi Kappa Alpha (1888-90). All were blotted out by 
stringent anti-fraternity laws. 




SOUTH CAROLINA MILITARY ACADEMY. 359 


SOUTH CAROLINA MILITARY ACADEMY. 


In 1842 the Legislature of South Carolina passed a bill incorporating the Citadel in 
Charleston and the Arsenal at Columbia into academies. Previous to this time the 
Citadel and Arsenal had been guarded by enlisted soldiers under the command of 
trained officers, and the annual expense thus incurred was $24,000. This amount was 
now appropriated for the support of the academies, the one at Charleston receiving 
$16,000. The two schools were opened in March, 1843, and remained entirely inde¬ 
pendent of each other until 1845, when, an attempt to unite them having failed, the 
Arsenal was made a feeding school for the Citadel. 

The first military service performed by the Cadets was the training of the “Palmetto 
Regiment ” previous to its departure for the Mexican war. On the 9th of January, 
1861, from an unfinished earthwork, a small detachment from the Academy fired the 
first shotted gun of the Civil War upon the steamer, “Star of the West,” as she was 
advancing to the relief of Fort Sumter. The alumni took an active part in the war, 
and the record they made during those years of conflict is one of which their Alma Mater 
may well be proud. Of 226 graduates living at the time the struggle began, more than 
200 became officers in the C. S. A., ranking from Lieutenant to Brigadier General. 

On the evacuation of Charleston the Academy was seized by the Federal troops and 
occupied as a garrison until 1878. In 1877 the surviving ex-Cadets met in Charleston 
to discuss measures by which the Academy might be re-opened. The cooperation of 
the Governor of the State was obtained, and he petitioned President Hayes for the 
restoration of the property to the State. On the President’s refusal to act, a bill was 
introduced into the United States Senate to restore it. In 1878 the General Government 
voluntarily surrendered it to the State. In 1882 the Legislature passed an act author¬ 
izing the opening of the Academy as a branch of the State University, and also grant¬ 
ing a yearly appropriation on condition that sixty-eight Cadets—two from each county 
—be educated and maintained free of charge. 

Since its re-organization the institution has regained much of its former popularity, 
and is now receiving excellent patronage from its own State as well as from those ad¬ 
joining. Every year the Legislature appropriates a certain amount for the general sup¬ 
port of the school, and the total amount received from this source since 1881 is about 
$150,000. The training is by no means purely military ; ample provision is made for 
instruction in the various departments of literature and science. The work done is 
thorough, and in many respects the general management is modeled after that of West 
Point. The students are ever under the watchful eyes of experienced officers and 
teachers, though the discipline is not harsh. By exercising watchful care over the 
young men, the authorities think those traits of character most conducive to success can 
best be developed.

SOUTH CAROLINA MU. 


“ Out of the gloom, future brightness is born, 

As after the night comes the sunrise of morn.” 

The history of South Carolina Mu has its dark pages as well as its 
bright ones. 

On November 26, 1884, South Carolina Delta petitioned the Grand 
Chapter, Tennessee Omega, for a charter and permission to establish a 
sub rosa chapter at Erskine College, Due West, S. C. The outlook 
was bright, and many of the men proposed as charter members were 
personally known to the members of Delta to be first-class in every re¬ 
spect. The constitutionality of sub rosa chapters was a disputed 
question, but, acting on precedent, the Grand Chapter granted the 
charter. 

On Nov. 29, of the same year, Mr. W. D. Douglass, of South Carolina 
Delta, organized the proposed chapter, which received the name of 
South Carolina Mu. The following six persons became charter mem¬ 
bers: Geo. Pressly Neel, David Gardner Phillips, Alex. Thornton Ham¬ 
ilton, William Oscar Brice, James Calvin Douglass, and Robert Geo. 
Brice. Though the chapter labored under the disadvantage of being 
sub rosa, in less than two weeks three more names were added to the 
chapter roll and several more soon followed. The chapter was just en¬ 
tering upon a brilliant career, when a storm began to brew, which, for 
a time, checked her progress. The faculty had discovered her existence. 
At this time Kappa Alpha also had a sub rosa chapter at Erskine, and 
both chapters determined to resist the demands of the faculty. Soon the 
proclamation was issued that all secret societies must disband, or the 
members leave the institution. A joint meeting of the two fraternities 
■was called and resolutions were passed that the members leave the col¬ 
lege rather than disband the chapters. The fraternities were composed 
of the best men of the college, and united action on their part would 
have caused the faculty to be more lenient. But the next morning the 
Kappa Alpha men “backed down,” and Sigma Alpha Epsilon was left 
to stand alone. It was then deemed wise to surrender the charter, which 
was placed in the hands of a resident Sig, Feb. 10, 1885. 

But the chapter was by no means dead. Application was at once 
made to the board of trustees for the repeal of the anti-fraternity laws. 

(363) 



364 


SOUTH CAROLINA MU. 


The board referred the matter to the faculty, and this body gave tacit 
consent to the existence of fraternities. 

This consent was soon withdrawn, but permission was then granted 
by the board of trustees. Mu again entered on a career of usefulness,, 
not by the aid of the faculty, but in spite of it. The cold shoulder she 
received from this source only stimulated and strengthened her. 

She continued in her brilliant course until 1888. The decline of 
Erskine College was so marked that the charter was surrendered Decem¬ 
ber 7, 1888. Thus a bright star disappeared from the firmanent. Mu 
had been one of the most efficient and faithful chapters of the fraternity r 
and her sons may well be proud of her achievements. 

The college being again promising, a charter was granted to Bro. J. 
C. Brice, then a student in Erskine, and W. W. Bradley, one of old Mu’s 
alumni, to re-establish her, and on the morning of June 14,1892, the 
sun shone down on thirteen neophytes in Sigma Alpha Epsilon. A set of 
boys honored by the faculty, the citizens of the village and the other 
students, had taken upon themselves the vows of the fraternity. All 
were full of enthusiasm and were ready to encounter the trials that only 
those who have attended college where fraternities are not in the 
least loved, not to say hated, know of. Unfortunately for the young 
chapter the vacation was near and ere the new brothers had enjoyed 
their fraternal relations for a fortnight they were forced to separate for 
three long months; and more unfortunately still, five of the thirteen 
were Seniors and graduated only a short while after organization, and 
to make things worse, three of the other brothers were not permitted to 
attend college in ’92-3. However, the opening session in October, 1892, 
found six Sigs in Erskine, all ready to crusade for their noble order 
under the banner of the “ purple and gold.” During the collegiate year 
’92-3 Mu’s honors have been many and varied. Her loyalty to trust re¬ 
posed lias been well shown by the good rank of her members. 


ERSKINE COLLEGE. 


365 


ERSKINE COLLEGE. 


Situated in the beautiful little village of Due West, in northwestern South Caro¬ 
lina, is Erskine College, founded in 1839, by the Associate Eeformed Presbyterians of 
the South. The aim of its founders was to provide an institution for the education of 
ministers for their church. Prior to 1836 there was at Due West a classical school which 
that year was changed to Clark and Erskine Seminary. It was incorporated as a col¬ 
lege in 1839, and the first new building completed in 1842. 

Rev. E. E. Pressly, D. D., was the first president. During his entire administration 
of seven years the institution was financially embarrassed. Low salaries, want of 
suitable buildings, libraries and scientific apparatus, greately interfered with the suc¬ 
cess anticipated by the founders. In 1846, Dr. Pressly was succeeded by Eev. E. C. 
Grier, D. D., who remained at the head of the institution for twelve years. Four com¬ 
modious buildings were erected during this period. But the greatest inconvenience 
being the lack of a sufficient endowment fund, a determined effort was made to increase 
this. Scholarships were sold, and in this way about $50,000 were secured. In ad¬ 
dition to this amount $20,000 were received from private benevolence, thus raising 
an endowment of $70,000. The war destroyed all of this fund except $13,000. 

At the breaking out of the war about one hundred and fifty students were in atten¬ 
dance. Many of them entered the C. S. A. At the close of the year 1860-1, the college 
exercises were suspended, and remained thus until the close of the war. Then Dr. 
Grier was again called to the presidency, and by able and heroic measures the institu¬ 
tion was again put on a good basis. Dr. Grier died in 1871, and his son, Eev. W. M. 
Grier, D. D., was chosen to fill the vacancy. 

Only on the completion of the classical course is a degree conferred. No special 
courses are provided for. 

In 1891 the endowment was about eighty thousand dollars. 

On Jan. 22, ’92, Erskine was discovered to be in flames, and in a few hours she and 
an excellent library were entirely destroyed. But the fires of Old Erskine were not 
yet quenched when the foundations of new Erskine were being laid on the same spot 
where here sons had gathered for fifty years. In the near future the building, which 
will have cost about forty thousand dollars, will be completed.

SOUTH CAROLINA UPSILON. 


Sigma Alpha Epsilon entered the College of Charleston on the night 
of April 8, 1881. The charter for the new chapter had been granted by 
the Grand Chapter on the last day of March of that year, in compliance 
with the request of J. H. Armstrong, of Ga. Beta, and S. Y. Tupper, of 
Tenn. Nu, and the name given in the charter was South Carolina Upsi- 
lon. Six of the young men of the College took upon themselves the 
vows of the fraternity and became charter members. Of these, J. M. 
Bacot and K. S. Tupper had just completed the under-graduate work; 
the remaining four, W. A. Caldwell, J. B. Gadsden, H. A. La Chicotte 
and W. H. Parker, Jr., were members of the Senior class. Shortly after 
the establishment of the chapter, E. K. Marshall, a post-graduate stu¬ 
dent, was initiated. 

Particular care had been exercised by the founders in the selection of 
men. No other fraternity had a chapter in the College, and with an ex¬ 
cellent student-body to draw from, the average membership was high. 
That the new initiates were men of rare ability is shown by the records 
they made while in College. Of seven active members, representing 
but two classes, two were valedictorians, two salutatorians, while the 
remaining three stood very high in their respective classes. In fact so 
much stress was laid on scholarly attainments that during the short 
period of the chapter’s existence she resembled the Phi Beta Kappa 
Society. 

The faculty of the College opposed secret organizations and owing to 
this open hostility it was deemed expedient that Upsilon be withdrawn 
from the institution, which was accordingly done in March, 1882, after 
the chapter had existed not quite one year. No attempt has been made 
to revive it. A chapter of Alpha Tau Omega was, however, planted in 
the College in 1889.

COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON. 


The College of Charleston i3 of very ancient origin. It was incorporated in 1775, 
and, as two other schools were established at the same time with it, a fund which had 
been provided for the first institution of learning to be established in the State was 
divided equally among the three. The site selected for the College was the land lying 
between George, St. Philips, and Green streets, in the village of Charleston. At the 
time of incorporation, Rev. William Smith, afterwards Bishop of the Diocese of South 
Carolina, had a large classical school in the city and it was determined to make this a 
nucleus for the College. No degrees, however, were conferred prior to 1794. Six were 
conferred that year, and among the graduates were Nathanniel Bowen, afterwards 
Bishop of the Diocese, and John D. Gervais. 

In 1824 an attempt was made to raise the character of the institution, and for this 
purpose three of the principal schools of the city were united under one organization. 
Bishop Bowen was called to the presidency, and he held the office until the school was 
in good working order, when he resigned, and was succeeded by Rev. Jasper Adams. 
The exercises were more or less interrupted until 1837. The trustees then ceded the 
institution to the city council, and it opened under the new management with Rev. 
W. H. Brantley, D. D., president. In the work of instruction he was assisted by two 
professors and a tutor. The first commencement of the remodeled College was held in 
1844. 

The old Barracks, the buildings originally used for the college, were torn down in 
1826, and the center of the present building erected. In 1850 the building was en¬ 
larged by the addition of two wings. A cabinet of natural history was added the 
same year. The exercises were not suspended during the war, but College did not 
open in 1865, owing to financial difficulties. However, the suspension was of but short 
duration, and, since its reopening, the College exercises have been uninterrupted. 

The College has received liberal aid from friends ; the most liberal donor is Ephraim 
Mikell, who, in 1864, left the city $150,000 in stocks. The total assets of the College 
amount to about half a million dollars. 

The attendance is confined principally to the city. From 1825 to 1870 the totat num¬ 
ber of graduates was two hundred and ninety-seven, of which forty-two became law¬ 
yers, thirty-two doctors, thirty-two merchants, and thirty-three clergymen.

SOUTH CAROLINA PHI. 


The history of Chapter Phi, the history of Furman University and 
the history of South Carolina all tell of many a struggle. Phi was 
founded by Jos. F. Deans, of North Carolina Elio Bho, in 1868. It is 
not strange that the college languished when the State was prostrate, 
and that the fraternity had sickened even unto death by the memorable 
year of 1876. Discouragement had reached its summit at the begin¬ 
ning of this year, and Phi chapter was dead before the people of the 
State had been aroused to the enthusiasm that broke the shackles of the 
“prostrate State” in the Fall elections. It was only the sacrificing la¬ 
bors of the president and a few loyal professors, working on small pay, 
or no pay, because they loved the institution of their labors and prayers, 4 
that kept the college itself alive during this time. The enthusiasm of 
college life was almost extinct and where this runs low fraternities cannot 
flourish. It is to the credit and not to the discredit of the few members 
left both at this time and later that they allowed the chapter to expire 
rather than maintain an uncertain existence. Their extreme caution in 
the selection of members reduced its numbers, but maintained its integ¬ 
rity. We have not been able to secure the names of the charter mem¬ 
bers of Phi in 1868. The first name appearing in the 1887 catalogue is 
that of Dr. James C. Furman, for more than 30 years president of the 
college, and the most honored man in the Baptist denomination of 
South Carolina. 

During this first period of the chapter’s life (1868-1876) about forty- 
five members were initiated. When the boys of this period left the 
doors of their alma mater there was nothing to encourage political as¬ 
pirations, and most of them went into the quieter walks of life. Six 
studied medicine; four became college professors; eight entered the 
ministry; two entered the legal profession; seven became merchants, 
and several of the others became planters. They are all worthy wearers 
of the “ old purple and gold.” A. W. Lamar, ’70, has a wide reputation 
as lecturer and pulpit orator; E. B. Murray, ’71, was one of the leaders 
in the State Legislature for many years, and is one of the ablest men in 
the State, both in law and in politics; H. T. Cook, ’73, is professor of 
Greek, Furman University, and ranks high as an educator; E. T. Kemp, 
’75, is president of a college in Texas. The record will show what the 
others are doing.

SOUTH CAROLINA PHI. 


When J. H. Armstrong-, of Ga. Beta, in 1880, came to Furman to re¬ 
organize Phi chapter he found the college in the midst of a memorable 
crisis in which its very existence hung in the balance. With five of the 
best men in college he replanted the colors of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 
The charter members were: A. Etheredge, J. T. Duncan, J. B. Hughey, 
W. S. Pope, and J. B. Watkins. They soon initiated others and from 
the beginning were abreast with their rivals. Phi continued an active 
chapter until 1885, but maintained her conservative policy as to initiates, 
and there were only twenty-one names enrolled during this time. These 
are all young men still, but they are already forging to the front. It may 
be added that during this period, Phi furnished nine anniversary de¬ 
baters, the best mathematician that ever entered Furman’s walls, and the 
youngest A. M. graduate. In 1885, there being a strong alumni mem¬ 
bership in Greenville, it was decided to make Phi an alumnus chapter 
w r ith power to initiate collegians. Nothing was done, however, till 1889. 
In May of this year the alumni met and discussed the situation, and in 
the Fall it was decided that the time was ripe for re-entering the college. 
John G. Capers led the movement and seven men were initiated. The 
alumni gave hearty support, and in a few months Phi was second to 
none of her sister Greeks in college; and never did Phi Alpha know more 
loyal or more enthusiastic sons. On November 1, 1891, Phi was again 
made an active chapter with the following charter members: J. B. Scott, 
C. B. Earle, O. B. Hartzog, L. M. Roper, W. W. Snider, E. A. Mc¬ 
Dowell, C. E. Burts, J. Wakefield, B. M. Cheatham, M. A. Connors, R. 
J. Alderman, H. H. Watkins, W. E. Breazeale. 

It may be well to give a brief account of what must be of interest to 
all Greekdom—the four years’ anti-fraternity war. It arose in the Adel- 
phian Society in the Spring of 1888 out of the Society elections. Sev¬ 
eral communistic spirits, feeling themselves aggrieved in the distribu¬ 
tion of fraternity honors, charged their woes to fraternities and made 
w r ar. They found a considerable following, and, withdrawing from the 
Adelpliians, organized a society which they entitled the “Eleutherian.” 
They struggled hard to gain the supremacy, while the Adelphians and 
Philosophians steadily refused to recognize their existence as a society. 
The Eleutherians witnessed many slights and imagined many more. 
Some of their leaders, notably one, grew very bitter, and when Phi was 
re-organized in 1889, there being then four Sigs in the faculty, their 
sharpest shafts were hurled against her. In the Spring of 1891, the 
Eleutherian leader above referred to published in the College journal a 
scurrilous attack on two of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon members of the 
faculty, directing the same especially at the principal of the Prepara¬ 
tory Department of the University. There were at this time about forty

members in the Eleutherian Society, and many of these were students in 
the Preparatory Department. They read the article and their eyes were 
opened. It became apparent that the wholesale charges of the Eleu¬ 
therian leaders were false, and the members began to resign. The above 
mentioned publication was made in April, and at the close of the season 
in June, the Eleutherian Society w r as defunct from desertion. But Phi 
chapter survives, more active, more enthusiastic, more in love with old 
Phi Alpha than ever. 

Phi’s sister chapters are Psi, of Xi Psi, and Iota, of Kappa Alpha. At 
one time there were chapters of Kappa Sigma and the Rainbow, but 
these are now defunct.

FURMAN UNIVERSITY. 


This institution, under the name of Furman Theological Institute, was first opened 
at Edgefield in 1827, but was soon afterwards moved to the high hills of the Santee, 
where it remained until 1850, when it was removed to Greenville, its present location, 
and there chartered under the name of Furman University. In its inception, the Uni¬ 
versity embraced three departments: The Academic, the Collegiate and the Theological. 
A Law Department was to be added. The Theological Department was, however, 
withdrawn in 1858, for the purpose of establishing the Southern Baptist Theological 
Seminary, Louisville, Ky. Dr. Jas. C. Furman, who had for some time been connected 
with the institution, and who was the son of Dr. Richard Furman, the founder, was 
then elected President, which position he filled until 1881, when he was succeeded by 
Dr. Chas. Monly, the present incumbent. Dr. Furman continued to fill the chair of 
Mental and Moral Philosophy till his death in 1891. Prof. C. H. Judson was elected 
to the chair of Mathematics in 1851, which position he still holds. 

The University struggled under great financial embarrassment. On account of losses 
sustained during the war between the States, it was of necessity closed for several 
years after, but was finally reopened in 1868. 

It has been the subject of much care on the part of the Baptists of South Carolina 
for the past forty years. They have made repeated efforts towards its endowment and 
have at length succeeded in placing it upon a firm basis. Its present endowment 
amounts to about $89,000, the greater part of which has been raised within the past 
ten years. For this increase in the endowment much credit must be given to Dr. R. 
H. Griffith, financial agent from 1885 to 1890. Mr. Rockefeller gave $10,000 of the 
amount. 

The campus consists of forty acres. The building, though not a fine one, is yet neat 
and attractive. It is situated on a woody height in the western part of the city, in full 
view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is justly the pride of the people of Greenville 
and the Baptists of the State. 

The outlook was never more promising than at present. About one hundred and 
sixty students are in attendance. The list of graduates is long and many are filling 
places of high distinction in both Church and State. 

The present faculty is as follows: Dr. Chas. Monly, D. D., English Language and 
Literature; H. T. Cook, A. M., Greek Language and Literature; H. P. Young, A. M., 
Latin Language and Literature; C. H. Judson, LL. D., Mathematics and Mechanical 
Philosophy; Rev. G. B. Moore, Philosophy; W. F. Watson, A. M., Physics and Chem¬ 
istry; E. Non Fongerlin, Ph. B., Ph. D. (Univ. of Rome), Acting Professor of Modern 
Languages; M. D. Erie, A. M,, History; Stiles R. Mellichamp, A. M., Principal of 
Preparatory Department; C. L. Durham, A. M., Assistant.

TENNESSEE ZETA 


Tennessee Zeta, of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was founded Nov. 10,1892, 
by S. B. McGlohon, of Tenn. Omega. Zeta began her existence with 
six charter members, J. G. Frierson, R. R. Hunter, J. H. Peebles, J. C. 
Jackson, G. S. Fairris and Edwin W. Fay. 

Zeta has always been a strong, enthusiastic chapter and an honor to 
the fraternity. From her ranks have gone forth many who have rapidly 
come to the front in their several professions. Zeta’s associations with 
Kappa Alpha have always been pleasant, not so at all times with the 
other chapters here. For the past two years, however, nothing has oc¬ 
curred to mar the pleasure and harmony of fraternity life at S. W. P. 
U., and it is hoped that the present pleasant relations between the sev¬ 
eral chapters here will always exist. S. A. E. by always pursuing a 
conservative, upright course has won for herself an enviable name in 
the University and city, and with a good strong town backing her future 
prosperity is assured. Since her establishment Zeta’s son shave always 
won a goodly share of collegiate and athletic honors. More particu¬ 
larly has she been famed for developing the oratorical gifts of her mem¬ 
bers and capturing the larger share of the honors offered in that depart¬ 
ment. The numerical standing of the different fraternities here has, 
for the past six or seven years, been about as they are now. S. A. E. 
has now fifteen members, and has two membeis in the faculty. The 
last convention made Tennessee Zeta Grand Chapterof Province 
Epsilon. Once before she held that honor, then it was transferred to 
Tenn. Omega for several years, and given back to Zeta by the convention 
of ’92. 

From the first S. A. E. took a leading position in the Southwestern 
Presbyterian University, although she had three strong and well estab¬ 
lished rivals in the school: Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma and Alpha 
Tau Omega, the chapter of the latter fraternity having been founded the 
previous Spring. In 1886, Kappa Alpha (Southern) placed a chapter 
in this University making the fifth fraternity represented here.

SOUTHWESTERN PRESBYTERIAN UNIVERSITY. 


Southwestern Presbyterian University is situated in Clarksville, Tenn., a 
pleasant little city on the Cumberland River, distinguished for its healthfulness and 
picturesque scenery, and for its social and moral culture. About the year 1850 the Ma¬ 
sonic fraternity of Tennessee established an institution at Clarksville, known as the Ma- 
souic University of Tennessee. Under this title and management it was conducted for 
five years. It was then purchased by the Presbyterian Synod of Nashville, and named 
Stewart College, in honor of William M. Stewart, Esq., a distinguished scientist and 
liberal benefactor of the institution. Mr. Stewart served for several years as president 
of the new college, and to his generosity it is indebted for its large and costly cab¬ 
inets of minerals and fossils, .and for its valuable scientific library. 

During the war the school was closed, and the libraries, cabinets and apparatus were 
lost. A few years after the close of the war the buildings were refurnished and the 
institution re-organized under the presidency of Rev. J. B. Shearer, D. D. During his 
administration the college enjoyed a period of prosperity and usefulness. In 1875, 
when several contiguous Synods conceived the purpose of founding an institution for 
the whole Southwest, which should not only furnish facilities for the usual under¬ 
graduate course, but also provide post-graduate and professional schools, the build¬ 
ings, appurtenancss, endowments and franchises of Stewart College were tendered to 
them and accepted. Accordingly, the new institution, called the Southwestern 
Presbyterian University, was located at Clarksville. The first chancellor was the Rev. 
Dr. John N. Waddel, who by a long and successful career of Academic work had won 
the highest rank as an educator of youth. 

A distinguished feature of this institution is the prominence which it has, from 
the beginning, given to the study of the English Bible. This course was organ¬ 
ized by Dr. Shearer, and extends over three years. All students are required to take it, 
and no degree is conferred without graduation in the Bible course. While at first it 
was impossible, from the want of funds, to do more than conduct the under-graduate 
^courses leading to the usual Academic degrees, the ultimate establishment of post-grad¬ 
uate and professional schools was kept steadily in view. In 1885 the theological de¬ 
partment was opened. In the relation of this department to the other schools the Uni¬ 
versity is unique. The school of theology is made co-ordinate with the Academic 
schools, and students are encouraged to prosecute this branch as part of a liberal educa¬ 
tion. This arrangement possesses the further advantage that it enables theological stu¬ 
dents who may be deficient in some of the Academic studies to make up their defi¬ 
ciencies. There are eight professors in the Academic department and five in the theo¬ 
logical. The endowment has been slowly though steadily increasing, amounting now' 
to about one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars safely invested, which, though 
a small amount compared with the endowments of older and wealthier institutions, en¬ 
ables the University to prosecute its work with encouraging success.

TENNESSEE ETA. 


Tennessee Eta, now located at the Southwestern Baptist University, 
was originally located at West Tennessee College. In 1867 it was organ¬ 
ized at the latter institution by H .W. McCorry, of Tenn. Lambda, with 
Guy Leeper and Stoddert Caruthers, also of Tenn. Lambda, and Levi S. 
Woods, a new initiate, as charter members. Many difficulties were 
encountered, which made existence burdensome, and in June, 1868, Eta 
was allowed to become inactive. In 1870 she was revived and remained 
active until West Tennessee College was united with the Southwestern 
Baptist University, when she again sank into temporary inactivity. In 
1878 the charter was transferred to the institution which succeeded West 
Tennessee College, and the chapter was reorganized by H. C. Anderson 
and T. C. Long in 1875, but she soon sank again into her accustomed 
slumber. 

She was again aroused in Feb., 1878, by B. A. Hurt and J. M. Trotter, 
but the charter was again withdrawn the following year. 

In the Fall of 1882, the chapter again became active and continued 
.as such until 1886, when she again sank into repose. 

On Oct. 11, 1887, another start in life was made. The awakening was 
effected by F. Jarman and B. P. Bourland, alumni of the chapter, and 
<the impetus received in the start was such as to insure existence for 
some years. 

This is a brief account of the checkered career of Tenn. Eta. Her 
fortunes have fluctuated with those of the institutions at which she was 
located, but to-day she is a strong chapter of twenty-six members. Her 
only competitor is a chapter of Kappa Sigma, established in 1890, after 
many futile efforts.

SOUTHWESTERN BAPTIST UNIVERSITY. 


The Southwestern Baptist University, located at Jackson, Tennessee, is the succes¬ 
sor of Old “ Union University ” at Murfreesboro, Tenn. During the war between the 
States Murfreesboro changed hands many times, and the college buildings were greatly 
damaged, all apparatus destroyed, and the library scattered. At the close of the war 
the friends of the University rallied to its support, and their efforts to again place the 
school on a firm basis seemed promising. But the cholera epidemic of 1873 and other 
disasters again closed the doors of the institution and they were never reopened. 
Another location was sought for, and Jackson offering the best inducements, the Bap¬ 
tist denominational school under its present name was located there Sept., 1874. 

At the same time, West Tennessee College, was united with the reorganized institu¬ 
tion. West Tennessee College was built up very largely on funds arising from the sale 
of lands. Before the war it was prosperous, receiving the patronage of a large portion 
of Tennessee, as well os being attended by students from other States. In 1865 Dr. 
William Shelton was called to the presidency, and he was ably assisted in the work of 
instruction by professors B. W. Arnold, and B. L. Arnold. In 1869 the old faculty re¬ 
signed, Dr. Shelton being succeeded by Rev. E. L. Patton. In August, 1874, the trus¬ 
tees offered the college property, valued at $90,000, to the trustees of the Southwestern 
Baptist University, on condition than an endowment of $300,000 be raised within ten 
years. The academic department ot the new institution was opened, Sept. 14, 1874, and 
the collegiate department was opened the following year. 

Since that time, the University has grown steadily in power and influence. The 
faculty numbers nine and the curriculum compares favorably with that of any institu¬ 
tion in the country. Although under the control of the Baptist denomination, the 
school is patronized by students of all denominations. Ail intending to make the min¬ 
istry of the Gospel their life work, as well as sons of ministers of the Gospel, are edu¬ 
cated free of charge. 

The student body is drawn from Tennessee and the neighboring States, and is com¬ 
posed of studious and energetic young men. One of the prominent features of the in¬ 
stitution is the interest taken in the literary societies. A very large majority of the 
students take an active part in these, and the beneficial results therefrom are marked.

TENNESSEE KAPPA 


The charter of Term. Kappa was granted to J. E. D. Shipp, of Ala. 
Alpha Mu, and J. W. Horton, Jr., of Tenn. Lambda, June 18,1879. The 
chapter was organized by J. W. Horton, Jr., with the following charter 
members: S. P. Anderson, J. R. Coleman, Frank Colville, W. H. Dick, 
Alex. McMillan and E. D. Rees. It became defunct in 1880 and for ten 
years Sigma Alpha Epsilon was not represented at the University of 
Tennessee. 

Bro. H. S. Bunting, Tenn. Zeta, was the second founder of Tenn. 
Kappa. In the Fall of 1889 he entered into correspondence with C. W. 
Allen, of Greenville, Tenn., who was then attending the University. The 
outcome of the correspondence was that Mr. Allen consented to under¬ 
take the re-establishment. Having taken into his confidence Robt. 
Simmonds and Elmo E. Carter, of Knoxville, the charter was obtained 
Feb. 28, 1890, and the new chapter was installed with the following 
charter members: John E. Shepherd, C. W. Allen, Elmo E. Carter, M. 
E. Kirk, J. S. Gibson, F. M. Gettys, H. W. French, J. W. Miles, W. K. 
Anderson, H. N. Davis. 

Meetings were held during the year at the Hotel Yendome. At the 
first meeting in 1890 only Bros. Miles, Gibson, Gettys, French and 
Chambliss were present. They went to work energetically and during 
the year initiated eight men. 

The University is making great material progress now and high 
hopes of keeping fully abreast of the onward movement are entertained. 

Several fraternities have endeavored to plant chapters in the Univer 
sity of Tennessee, but their success has been varied. The following is 
a list of those once having chapters here: Pi Kappa Alpha (1874-8), 
Alpha Tau Omega (1872-3), Kappa Alpha (1884-8), Rainbow (1885-6), 
Tau Delta Sigma (1889-90).

UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE. 


The foundation of this University is connected with the earliest history of Tennessee. 
In 1794, by the first General Assembly of the “Territory South of the Ohio,” was char¬ 
tered Blount College, named in honor of William Blount, the Governor of the Terri¬ 
tory, and afterwards one of the two Uuited States Senators first chosen from the State 
of Tennessee. In 1807, under an act of Congress providing for the establishment of 
two colleges in Tennessee, East Tennessee College was chartered, and soon after, the 
franchise and property of Blount College was transferred to the new institution. 

In 1826 East Tennessee College, having been formerly located elsewhere within the 
limits of the present city of Knoxville, was transferred to the present site, then known 
as Barbara Hill—so named after a daughter of Governor Blount. In 1840 the name of 
the College was changed, by an act of the Legislature, to East Tennessee University. 

In 1869 the Legislature gave in trust to the University the proceeds of the sale of 
public lands, donated by act of Congress of July 2, 1862, “to the several States and 
Territories which may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and mechanic 
arts,” and in consideration of this the University entered into a contract with the State 
under which it was to establish and maintain a college of this kind and to educate 275 
State students at one time, free of tuition, in this department. 

In 1879 the name of East Tennessee University was changed, by act of the Legisla¬ 
ture, to the University of Tennessee, and laws were made connecting the University in¬ 
timately with the system of public education of the State. In 1887, the General As¬ 
sembly made the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University the recipient 
of the appropriation made by the United States Congress in the so-called “Hatch 
Experiment Station Act.” In 1891, the General Assembly assented to the grants of 
money made to the colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts under the “ New Morrill 
Act,” approved August 30, 1890, and pledged the whole of the appropriation to the 
University of Tennessee in accordance with the contract made with it in 1869. 

The board of trustees of the University hold a charter from the State dating from 
1807. It is limited to thirty members, who must be chosen hereafter from the different 
Congressional districts in the State. The Governor of Tennessee, the Secretary of State, 
and the Superintendent of Public Instruction are members ex-officio. 

The University is an integral part of the public educational system of the State. As 
at present organized, it forms the capstone of this system, and completes the work be¬ 
gun in the common schools and carried on through the high schools. Its existence is 
due chiefly to the bounty of the United States, the largest portion of its income being 
derived from the proceeds of the sale of public lands granted to the several States by 
act of Congress of July 2, 1862. The present organization of the College of Agricul¬ 
ture, Mechanic Arts and Sciences is designed to meet the requirements of the laws 
which provided this foundation. 

Under President Charles W. Dabney, Jr., the University has made great material 
progress. The year 1891 marked the completion of two magnificent buildings—Science 
Hall and the Y. M. C. A. building. Science Hall is a modern structure and is the 
home of the Schools of Chemistry and of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. 
The Y. M. C. A. building was built by the students, alumni and citizens of Knoxville. 
It contains an assembly hall, complete gymnasium, baths, library, etc. A new day is 
dawning for the U. of T., and it will soon he recognized as one of our foremost colleges.

TENNESSEE LAMBDA. 


The early history of Lambda is shrouded in mystery. It is known 
that this chapter was founded at the above institution in the Autumn of 
1860, probably in the month of October, but the exact date is uncertain 

The names of its founders cannot be given with any degree of cer¬ 
tainty, but it is believed that a charter was obtained through the in¬ 
fluence of Wise A. Cooper, Tenn. Lambda-Omega, ’59, and Geo. Perkins 
Bondurant, Ya. Omicron, ’58. 

In April, 1861, when the Civil War commenced, many members of 
Lambda left the University and enlisted in the army. 

From April, 1861, to the close of the War the chapter was practically 
inactive. 

She was revived in 1865 and after existing six years surrendered its 
charter in 1871, on account of the small attendance at the University. 

She was revived in 1874, by Leonard Phinizy, Ga. Beta, ’72, and 
James Hamilton Thompson, Tenn. Nu, ’74. Only four men were initi¬ 
ated, and less than one year after its reorganization its charter was 
again returned in June, 1875. 

In Sept., 1878, Charles Zacliariah McCord, Ga. Beta, ’74, an enthusi¬ 
astic member of the fraternity, entered the Law School of Cumberland 
University, and in the face of strong opposition and the hitherto re¬ 
peated withdrawals of the charter, asked permission to again raise aloft 
the banner of Lambda. 

His request was granted and during the next seven months four young 
men were initiated into the fraternity. 

When the convention of the fraternity met at Nashville, Tenn., in 1879, 
for some unknown reason, at the request of its founder, the charter was 
recalled. 

In March, 1885, eight young men, students in Cumberland University, 
viz: J. M. Wagstaff, Daniel Hon, R. McMillan, W. J. Daniel, G. D. 
Burney, J. L. Caldwell, C. L. McCartney and Jno. F. Garrison, applied 
to the Grand Chapter at Sewanee, Tenn., for a charter. 

The charter being granted, on the night of April 4, 1885, these eight 
young men were initiated into the mysteries of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 
by A. R. Mitchell and S. B. McGlohon, both of Tenn. Omega. 

Since that time Lambda chapter has initiated one hundred and two 
members and at present her prospects are the brightest. 

There are at present active chapters of four other fraternities in 
Cumberland University, viz: Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Sigma, Alpha Tau 
Omega, and Pi Kappa Alpha.

CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY. 


Cumberland University had its origin in the failure of Cumberland College, 
Princeton, Ky. Only fifteen years after Ewing, King and McAdow had organized 
Cumberland Presbytery—the first of the Cumberland Church—the General Assembly 
determined to found a church school. Thus Cumberland College was established, but, 
in a few years, owing to inadequate endowment and unwise management, the institu¬ 
tion was burdened with debt. A committee was appointed by the Church to sell the 
property and take measures toward establishing another school. This committee met 
in Nashville, Tenn., July, 1842, to receive and deliberate upon propositions for the lo¬ 
cation of the new college. Lebanon, Tenn., offered the best inducements and hence 
was selected as the site. The town is beautifully situated about thirty miles east of 
Nashville, Tenn. The population is about 5,000. In many ways it is a desirable lo¬ 
cation for an educational institution, being healthful and also a center of culture and 
refinement, as well as having a position commanding the patronage of a large section of 
country. In Sept., 1842, Eev. C. G. McPherson, who had been elected Professor of 
Mathematics, opened a school at the Cumberland Presbyterian church in Lebanon, and 
in Feb., 1843, the president-elect, Eev. F. E. Cossitt, assumed control. 

In Feb., 1844. the school was organized as Cumberland University, and the new 
quarters—a handsome five-storv brick building—were taken up. In 1847, the Law 
Department was opened. The first Dean -was Judge Abraham Caruthers, who resigned 
his seat on the bench to assume the position of professor. Seven students were in this 
department the first term. The Theological School was opened in 1853, and was from 
the first well patronized. 

In 1861, the War caused the University to suspend, but it was reorganized with in¬ 
creased facilities in 1866. 

In the Academic Department the course of instruction is of a broad character, and of¬ 
fers facilities enjoyed in but few schools of the South. The degrees conferred are Bach¬ 
elor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy. The course 
in Civil Engineering leads to the appropriate degree, as do also the courses in Law and 
Theology, respectively. 

Since the War the institution has steadily increased in patronage and power. Her 
work for over half a century speaks for her. Jurists, professors, doctors, business men, 
all over the South and West, and even in the North, are proud to claim her as their 
alma mater. In the Law department alone more than 2,000 young men have received 
instruction, and of these more than 1,000 have graduated. They have filled many of¬ 
fices of high honor. Many of the Southern and Western States have called to their ex¬ 
ecutive chairs alumni of this institution. Her sons have adorned the U. S. Supreme 
Bench, and also the legislative halls. From the pulpit, too, many of them are elo¬ 
quently preaching the Word. 

The total attendance at present (1893) is more than 300. The value of buildings, 
grounds and apparatus is estimated at about $75,000; the endowment is more than 
$150,000.

TENNESSEE LAMBDA=OMEGA. 


Chapter Lambda Omega, of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, was es¬ 
tablished in Sept., 1857. In the May preceding, the Grand Chapter, Ala. 
Mu, received a petition signed by D. M. Thompson, F. W. Middleton, 
It. M. Simmons, and W. I. Westbrook, for a charter to establish a chap¬ 
ter at Union University, Murfreesboro, Tenn. The matter was referred 
to Tenn. Nu, and on the recommendation of the latter chapter the charter 
was granted, July 4, 1857, and the new chapter, called Tenn. Lambda, 
was installed the following Sept. Lambda entered on a prosperous 
career, and soon was strong and flourishing, but when the University 
was closed by the war the chapter was disbanded, and the charter trans¬ 
ferred to Cumberland University. 

When Union University was reopened, it was considered desirable to 
reorganize the chapter which had once existed there. Since the name 
Lambda had been transferred to Cumberland University, the name of 
the reorganized Keph was changed from Lambda to Omega. The re¬ 
establishment was effected in the Fall of 1869 by W. H. Washington, of 
Ya. Sigma. Omega lived as long as the University, but when the latter 
died in 1872, the charter of Omega was transferred to the University of 
the South, Sewanee. 

Three other fraternities had chapters at Union, viz: Phi Gamma 
Delta, Alpha Tau Omega and Alpha Gamma.

UNION UNIVERSITY. 


Union University was organized by a charter granted by the Legislature of the 
State of Tennessee, February 5, 1842. The original title was “Union University in 
Tennessee.” The board of trustees was given the authority to select the site, and in 
pursuance of this privilege Somerville, East Tennessee, was chosen, and here G. W* 
Wilt began teaching a primary grade as a branch of the University. But nothing fur¬ 
ther was done at Somerville, for soon changes in the organization were made, and the 
institution transferred to Murfreesboro and opened there under the present name. 

The corner-stone for the new university building was laid in June, 1849; Rev. Dr. 
Eaton, the president, delivered the address. The building was a fine three-story brick 
structure. The exercises of the school began the following year with a faculty of five 
members. 

Previous to Dr. Eaton’s call to the presidency of Union University, he . >s at the head 
of the Bradley Academy, which institution was then made a part of the University by 
act of the Legislature. 

Under Pres. Eaton the University had a prosperous career. His ripe scholarship, 
mature judgment and marked ability as an instructor attracted a large body of students. 

In 1853 Eaton College, or the Baptist Institute, was organized and placed under the 
university board of trustees, but shortly before the war the institute passed into the 
hands of the Christians. 

On Dr. Eaton’s death Rev. Dr. Pendelton was called to the presidency and remained 
in office until 1861, when the war necessitated the closing of the University. All through 
the war the building was used as a hospital. 

The University was reopened after the war, but the Baptists, who controlled it, 
turning their attention to the Southwestern Baptist University at Jackson, Tenn., it 
was closed in 1872. The building is now occupied by the Eclectic Normal School, a 
flourishing institution.

TENNESSEE NU. 


The present chapter is an out-growth of old Tennessee Nu, which 
was established in 1857, at the Western Military Institute, Nash 
ville, Tenn., with Joseph Harris Field as charter member. The begin¬ 
ning of this chapter was marked by thorough and conscientious work, 
which showed itself in the number of initiates, there being in the three 
years of its existence nearly forty members, most of which work was 
accomplished in its second year. But in 1860, when the war came on, 
it was decided to disband the chapter. The charter was therefore re¬ 
turned, the members separating and most of them entering the army. 
John S. Lanier, of the class of ’57, with Vernon H. Vaughan, of N. 
C. Xi, founded in 1857 the chapter of Ga. Pi, at the Georgia Military 
Institute at Marietta. 

The war had been over for a number of years and peace and * quiet 
were once more beginning to take firm hold upon the South before an 
attempt was made to re-establish the chapter. In 1870, J. M. Dicker- 
son and John Hill Eakin applied for a charter, which was granted them 
without delay, and they immediately set earnestly to work. Their 
efforts met with success, and the chapter was soon in a flourishing con¬ 
dition. Initiations were made regularly for the first few years, the 
chapter having an average of about seventeen members. But in 1876, 
they decided to return their charter, although there were still a number 
of members in the institute. Many of the initiates of these two periods 
in the history of Tenn. Nu, have become prominent in both city and 
State. Nearly all have gained distinction in their professions as ministers, 
lawyers, physicians and politicians. 

Following closely upon the return of the charter in 1876, William 
LeKoy Brown, of Ga. Beta, in 1878, applied for the re-issue of the charter. 
This was granted and he immediately set to work to build up the chapter 
again, a number of men were initiated and the chapter seemed in a fair 
way to be firmly established, but from different causes a majority of the 
members did not return to the institute the following year, and those 
that returned being inexperienced in the best modes of conducting the 
affairs of the fraternity in opposing the other live chapters then there 
were able to make but few initiations. Believing that they were unable 
to cope successfully, they soon began to lose interest in the welfare of 
the chapter, ceased meeting after a time, and at the end of the year 

(430)

unanimously decided to return the charter. When this was done the 
chapter in the institute may be said to have died, for shortly afterwards 
the old institute was changed into the Peabody Normal. 

In the meantime Vanderbilt University had been established and was 
making headway, perhaps slowly, but surely. By reason of its large 
endowment it was at once one of the most desirable places for an enter¬ 
prising fraternity to enter in the South and naturally many sought ad¬ 
mission. But the faculty was from the beginning opposed to admitting 
fraternities and it seemed from their determined opposition that there 
was no reasonable hope that they would change their determination in 
the near future, so to overcome this the fraternities were forced to enter 
sub rosa. There were three such chapters established and they finally 
united in order to oppose the faculty with more system and energy ; to 
this end a fraternity journal was established, called the “ Aurora,” in 
which they presented so many reasons for admittance that the faculty 
finally decided to withdraw their opposition and admit them. 

In 1883, after the abolition of anti-fraternity laws, the alumni of other 
chapters then in attendance established a chapter taking the old name 
of Nu, thus transfering the seat of the old chapter to Vanderbilt Uni¬ 
versity. Naturally, strong rivals were to be met with in the chapters 
established sub rosa; having had time to gain a firm footing, they were 
easily prepared to meet a rising chapter, composed of men who were 
almost strangers to each other and who, moreover, lacked the enthusiasm 
of a long established chapter and the knowledge of how to conduct one 
so as to meet with success. This chapter, after a precarious existence 
of three years, gave up its charter in 1886. The attempt was really only 
half-hearted and tentative, and with the exception, perhaps, of the two* 
years, from 1884 to ’86, not much was accomplished. 

The charter had been surrendered at the close of the session of ’86, 
the members believing that it would be useless to continue it as they 
thought then that only one or two members would return the following 
year, but fortunately their anticipations were not realized, for on the 
following year enough of the old members returned to make up, with 
the affiliates, quite a respectable chapter. They applied for the reissue 
of the charter, which was granted, and they immediately made initia¬ 
tions from the student-body and the permanent establishment of the 
chapter was secured. Since that time the organization has been well 
kept, with membership varying from fifteen to twenty-three. 

The real history of the younger Nu may be said to begin with the 
last issue of the chapter in September, ’86, excepting, perhaps, ’84 to 
’86. In ’86-7 and ’87-8, much good material was added and the chapter 
took a high standing by reason of the intellectual attainments of its 


432 


TENNESSEE NU. 


members and the successful competition for honors. During- those two 
years and the two years following, the prime requisite was mental ex¬ 
cellence. Since that time less stress has been laid upon that requisite 
and the aim of the chapter has been to secure good, sociable, popular 
fellows. The chapter has come into deserved prominence in recent years 
and its members are closely identified with the growth of college spirit 
and enterprise. 

The other fraternities having chapters here are. Phi Gamma Delta 
(1876), Kappa Sigma (1876), Kappa Alpha (1883), Chi Phi (1883), Beta 
Theta Pi (1884), Sigma Nu (1886), Delta Tau Delta (1886), and Delta 
Kappa Epsilon (1890).

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY. 


The general feeling of a lack of the advantages of higher education led several of 
the conferences of the M. E. Church, South, to call a convention in 1871, to consider 
the establishment of a university. The convention met in Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 24, 
1872, and after several days’ deliberation a plan was adopted and a “ Board of Trust ” 
organized and authorized to obtain a charter of incorporation for the new institution. 
The school was to he called “Central University of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 
South,” and was chartered under this title the same year. The hoard of trust decided 
that no department of the university should be opened before the sum of $500,000 be 
raised. Agents were appointed to secure this amount, but subscriptions came in slowly, 
and the whole university scheme began to look impracticable. But help was received 
from an unexpected quarter ; Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, the New York capi¬ 
talist, desiring “to strengthen the ties which should exist between all geographical 
sections of the country,” generously offered the board of trust the sum of $500,000— 
the amount required before opening the University. The offer was accepted and the 
name of the institution changed to “Vanderbilt University.” By subsequent addi¬ 
tions, the total amount of Mr. Vanderbilt’s benefactions has reached the sum of $1,000,- 
000. The endowment has been handsomely increased by a donation of $450,000 from 
Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt, and the building and library fund has been swelled by a gift 
of $30,000 from Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, grandson of the founder. 

By request of Commodore Vanderbilt the University was located at Nashville, Tenn. 
The University grounds, consisting of seventy-six acres, are just beyond the corporate 
limits of the town. On them are erected six large buildings, and many residences for 
professors. The departments of law, dentistry and medicine are carried on in the city 
in two large buildings erected for the purpose. The entire property of the Uni¬ 
versity is valued at $2,000,000. 

In 1875 the University opened with four departments : The Academic, Biblical, 
Law, and Medical. To these have been added those of Pharmacy, Dentistry, and 
Engineering. 

The curriculum is liberal and thorough. Of recent years, special attention has been 
paid to post-graduate work in the various schools, excellent facilities being offered for 
advanced work in the different sciences, history, literature and philology. During the 
year 1892-3 there were fifty students in the University who had already received de¬ 
grees. Fellowships are offered to promote this higher work. 

Ever since the organization of the institution, Dr. L. C. Garland, now over eighty 
years of age, has been its honored head. The total number of professors is seventy- 
five, many of them being graduates of German universities. The total attendance of 
students for the year 1892-3 was about 700.

TENNESSEE OMEGA. 


The workings of fraternity life at the University of the South, could 
they be closely observed by those most in need of such enlightenment, 
would be a revelation to the well-meaning, but somewhat narrow¬ 
minded individuals, who, perhaps from a belief in the total depravity 
of the average student and necessary iniquity of whatever he may do 
when free from the supervision of his elders, frown upon college fra¬ 
ternities, and, when placed in positions of authority, use that authority 
in suppressing the chapters over which they have control, or in forcing 
them into the unfortunate sub rosa position which often results in their 
complete extinguishment. The officers of the University of the South, 
fortunately for the institution and its students, have pursued a more 
enlightened policy and have seen its results in the steady increase of 
good feeling between themselves and the student body, and of good- 
fellowship and friendly rivalry in the strife for honors and scholarship 
among the students themselves. 

The first Greek-letter chapter established at Sewanee was Omega 
Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega, and for almost four years she remained 
alone, until, on the 20th of August, 1881, the Rev. W. B. Walker, of 
Augusta, Georgia, succeeded in the mission upon which he had been 
sent by the convention of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, and 
founded another Omega chapter at the University, with a membership 
of five active and two honorary members. These were : active—Thos. 
C. Barrett, Alex. R. Mitchell, Wm. A. Quarry, Henry Jervey, and H. 
S. Elliott; honorary—Gen. E. Kirby Smith, and Prof. Caskie Harrison. 

That there was room in Sewanee for another fraternity was shown by the 
fact that without lowering the high standard with which the chapter was 
founded, its members steadily increased, until at the end of the Trinity 
term of ’83, there were about twenty-two members, and since that 
time there have seldom been fewer and often more than that number. 

The meetings of the chapter were, for about two years, held in what 
was known as the Klein Cottage, which, curiously enough, afterward 
became the meeting place of another Omega chapter—that of Kappa 
Sigma. The next place of meeting was the Dunbar Cottage, which was 
thus used until 1885, when one of the vacant suites in St. Luke’s Theo¬ 
logical Hall was secured for the purpose. A year later a room in 
Thompson Hall was used for a while. This constant moving about was 
most uncomfortable, as well as unfavorable for the development of the 
home-feeling which should be one of the many fraternity ties, and the 

( 445 )

members of the chapter determined that a chapter house was an abso¬ 
lute necessity. They were willing- to make great sacrifice of time and 
personal ease to accomplish this end, and, of course, were not. long in 
attaining it. During the Trinity term of ’86, ground was broken for the 
erection of a stone building, and on Oct. 23d, of the same year, a com¬ 
pany of Sigs with their guests from among the other Greeks and their 
Sawanee friends met for the laying of the keystone of the arched win¬ 
dow in front. The hall was first occupied during the Lent term of 1887, 
when it was formally opened with a banquet. It contains an ante-room 
and a spacious assembly room, finished in natural wood and heated, the 
former by a grate, the latter by a cheerful fire-place. The Hall is tastily 
furnished. 

It was not, however, deemed sufficient to have built a Chapter house 
and to have dedicated it with appropriate ceremonies to the purposes 
for which it was intended. A reception which should afford Omega an 
opportunity to extend her hospitalities to her friends was the next ob¬ 
ject of desire, and invitations were accordingly issued for Aug. 7, 1887. 
The affair was a thorough success. The house and grounds were beau¬ 
tifully lighted and decorated and the capacity of the building was sup. 
plemented by a large tent in which the refreshments were served. Since 
that time Omega’s career has been one, not of brilliant achievements 
alone—though they have not been wanting—but of steady prosperity. 
Never has she been in that unfortunate situation so well described by 
the phrase “at a low ebb.” Honors, she has always had in abundance, 
academic, athletic and inter-collegiate—to give the list would render 
this article a mere catalogue, and to mention a part would be to insti¬ 
tute invidious distinctions. For a long time Omega was the Grand 
Chapter of the fraternity, and when the provincial system was adopted 
she became Grand Chapter of her province. The “Record” was formerly 
published at Sewanee, and the revised Ritual originated there. At the 
end of the last term the chapter numbered twenty-three active and four 
honorary members, chosen from among Sewanee’s best. 

Since the establishment of Omega other fraternities have come to 
abide with us. These are Omega Chapter of Kappa Sigma, established 
in 1882; Beta of Phi Delta Theta, in 1883; Beta Theta of Delta Tau 
Delta, in 1883; Alpha Alpha of Kappa Alpha, in 1883, and a chapter of 
Sigma Nu, two years or more ago. All except the last mentioned have 
chapter houses, all of them neat and comfortable, some of them very 
handsome. With slight interruptions perfect good-feeling and friendli¬ 
ness have existed between these different organizations, and the rivalry, 
at times very strong, has been for the most part only of that wholesome 
kind which is a benefit to all and an honor to the institution to which 
their members belong. 


UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH.

THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH. 


Although the University has barely reached the end of the first quarter century of 
her existence, yet her origin dates back for more than twice this period. More than half 
a century ago the first Bishop of Tennessee, the Rt. Rev. James Harvey Otey, D. D., LL. 
D., recognized the need of such an institution, and, although his plans for supplying 
this need were often frustrated, his faith sorely tried, the fruition of his hopes deferred 
until he had gone to his rest, and the scope of the institution contemplated by him im¬ 
mensely broadened, yet it was undoubtedly his mind that contained the germ from 
which has sprung the University of the South. Interesting, indeed, it is, to trace the 
development of the educational idea through the labors of the noble bishop and the co¬ 
adjutors he gathered around him, but such a study would carry us too far and we must 
pass on to the time when the history of the University, as such, begins. 

In 1856 the Rt. Rev. Leonidas Polk, Bishop of Louisiana, who had formerly been a 
member of the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Tennessee, and a warm supporter 
of Bishop Otey’s views, addressed a pamphlet to the bishops of several Southern States, 
setting fourth the need of an institution of learning among them, which should com¬ 
bine with a high standard of culture such advantages of accessibility as should obviate 
the necessity of sending young men to distant universities for collegiate training, and 
which should embrace a school of theology for the education of candidates for the priest¬ 
hood of the Episcopal Church. As it was a time of financial prosperity, much enthusi¬ 
asm was aroused in the undertaking and during the next four years an endowment of 
$500,000 was subscribed, Sewanee, Tennessee, selected as the site of the new institution 
of learnings 10,000 acres of land were secured as a University domain, a code of statutes 
was adopted and in October, 1861, the corner-stone of the main building laid with im¬ 
posing ceremonies. 

The civil strife, which immediately followed, left nothing to the University hut the 
title to the domain, the validity of which was conditioned upon the opening of a 
school at Sewanee before the close of 1868. The present Bishop of Tennessee, the Rt. 
Rev. Charles Todd Quintard, D. D., immediately took up the work, made his way with 
three members of the hoard of trustees to the site of the proposed University and erected 
there a cross as a rededication of the spot to the cause of Christian education. During the 
following year (1867) Bishop Quintard was elected Vice Chancellor, and a grammar 
school was opened with nine pupils. From such beginnings has the institution sprung. 

The academic department was organized in 1871. Under the administration of 
Bishop Quintard and his successors, Gen. Josiah Gorgas, the Rev. Telfeir Hodgson, D. 
D., and the Rev. Thos. F. Gailor, S. T. D., the present Vice Chancellor, several per¬ 
manent buildings have been erected, the theological and medical departments have 
been established, the former in 1876, the latter in 1892; the opening of the law depart¬ 
ment occured March, 1893. Already hundreds of young men have been sent out 
well equipped for the battle of life not only with that knowledge which will enable 
them to make their way in the world, but with the high Christian ideals that will 
impel them always to seek the right.

TEXAS THETA. 


Texas Theta was founded in 1858, with Timothy I., Dunklin as char¬ 
ter member. The chapter enjoyed three years of prosperity, but when 
the institution at which it was located was transferred in 1861, from In¬ 
dependence to Waco, the fraternity organization was disbanded. Many 
of the members had gone to the war, and so few were left that it was 
deemed inexpedient to continue the chapter, and consequently the char¬ 
ter was returned to the general fraternity. 

The chapter was never revived at Baylor, but in the Fall of 1888, the 
charter was re-issued to Prof. Jno. M. Wagstaff, of Tenn. Lambda, to 
transfer the old chapter to Buffalo Gap College. Her life in the new 
institution was of short duration, for scon adverse circumstances caused 
the charter to be withdrawn. A large and severe drouth came upon the 
State, and many of the students were compelled to abandon their edu¬ 
cation. The chapter had been established by Prof. Wagstaff, then 
president of the college, with Samuel L. Halley, Henry T. Brookerson, 
Jno. R. Haynes, Jno A. Murchison, J. D. Boss, and Chas. P. Julian, as 
charter members. But of these, only Bro. Julian returned to college 
the following year, and in addition to this, a new faculty, opposed to 
secret organizations, was elected, and the two influences working together 
caused the charter to be recalled. 

At Baylor University there existed a chapter of Phi Gamma Delta 
from 1856 to 1888.

BAYLOR UNIVERSITY AND BUFFALO GAP 

COLLEGE. 


Baylor University was established by the Texas Baptist Education Society, an 
organiztion formed in 1842 for the special purpose of founding a Texas Baptist uni¬ 
versity. A charter was obtained from the Republic of Texas on February 13, 1845, 
and the new institution received the name of Baylor University. The town of Inde¬ 
pendence, then on the greatest thoroughfare of the State and near the center of popula¬ 
tion, was chosen as the site, and college buildings were at once erected. 

But as the State developed, the location of the university became more and more in¬ 
convenient. The town of Independence was left oft the railroads, and soon became 
too difficult of access for the University to prosper. In addition to this, the foreign 
influx into Southern Texas completely changed the character of the population, and 
there was no longer sufficient interest in education to warrant the retention of the old 
site. In 1861 Dr. Burleson, the president, with all the rest of the faculty, withdrew 
from Baylor and removed to Waco, where they established Waco University. The 
latter institution was chartered in 1861, and soon its healthy location in the central 
part of the State won for it a large patronage. The two institutions remained sepa¬ 
rate until.1861. But the patronage of Baylor so diminished that it was deemed ex¬ 
pedient to unite the two schools. Waco had increased in patronage from 32 students 
in 1861 to 305 in 1885, while in the same time tho attendance at Baylor diminished 
from 250 to 32, which fact clearly demonstrated the superiority of the newer school. 
In 1886 a special committee of eighty assembled and formally consolidated the schools 
under the names of/ 4 Baylor University, of Waco.” 

Since then the University has had a steady growth. The different departments are 
the academic, collegiate, music, art, commercial, normal, and oratory. The number 
of students in attendance is almost 400. 

Buffalo Gap College was founded in 1883 and operated as a high school until 1885, 
when it was chartered as a college. Since then it has been growing in favor and pa¬ 
tronage. The curriculum is prepared with great care and with special reference to the 
practical advantage of students. 

The college is located at Buffalo Gap, a place easily accessible from all parts of the 
State, and noted for its healthfulness.

TEXAS RHO. 


The charter to found a chapter of the fraternity at Marvin College 
was granted to T. A. Ferris, of Ky. Chi, on the 10th of Dec., 1881, and 
the chapter established Thursday afternoon, Feb. 9, 1882. The initia¬ 
tion was conducted by R. S. Goss, of Ky. Chi, 78, who at that time was 
Professor of Elocution and Oratory in the College. The charter mem¬ 
bers were J. H. Grant, E. M. Cox and C. D. Craig. The first officers 
were Bro. Goss, E. A., Bro. Cox, E. D. A., Bro. Craig, E. R., and Bro. 
Grant, E. C. At first the regular meetings were held each Friday even¬ 
ing. The members all took an active interest in fraternity life and soon 
new men were added to the roll. 

The chapter enjoyed a prosperous career of three years, but when the 
College was sold by the board of directors to the city, the members of 
their own accord unanimously voted to surrender their charter, and thus 
on May 31,1884, the chapter was disbanded after about twenty men had 
been initiated. 

While Rho was at Marvin she had no rival chapter and was thus able 
to govern with a high hand. Her members were chosen from a student- 
body of abont 200, and were men of whom any chapter might be proud. 

The chapter enjoyed the warmest support of the faculty, the influence 
of which made her an organization of great strength. 

As soon as the charter was returned to the Grand Chapter application 
was at once made to have it reissued to the University of Texas, Austin, 
Texas. This was done, and on June 10, 1884, T. C. Barrett, of Tenn. 
Omega, installed the chapter in her new home. The first initiates at 
the University were W. A. Roberts, S. M. Morris, R. J. Felder, Yates 
Flanigan and J. T. Bonner. 

Since her reorganization the chapter has had uninterrupted prosper¬ 
ity. Fraternity feeling in the University usually runs high, and there 
is a strong rivalry. Rho has been able to hold her own, and completed 
her ninth year at the institution with a membership of seventeen. Her 
men have always taken high rank in the classroom, and have also taken 
an active part in the affairs of college life. 

The other fraternities to have established chapters at the University 
of Texas are: Kappa Alpha (1883-6), Phi Delta Theta (1883), Phi Gamma 
Delta (1883-7), Kappa Sigma (1884), Sigma Chi (1884), Beta Cheta Pi 
(1886), Sigma Nu (1886), and Tau Delta Sigma (1890).

MARVIN COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 


Marvin College was incorporated in 1872. It was located at Waxahachie, Texas, 
a town admirably adapted for the site of an educational institution. The climate wa& 
healthful, the position was central and the general character of the population was 
such as to commend the town to the favorable consideration of the trustees. 

For some years Marvin College had the distinction of being the best equipped and 
largest school in Texas. In 1883 the faculty consisted of thirteen professors, and ex¬ 
cellent courses were offered in Language, Science, Elocution, Commerce and Music. 
The total attendance for the year was about two hundred. 

In 1884 the College was sold by the trustees to the city, and it was then converted into 
the City High School. 

The University of Texas dates back to 1839. When the Congress of the Repub¬ 
lic of Texas made provision in that year for locating Austin, which was to be the seat 
of government, it was provided that a tract of land within the city be set apart for a 
University. At the same session the President of the Republic was authorized and re¬ 
quired to have set apart for university education fifty leagues of the unoccupied lands. 
Both these acts were carried out, but nothing further was done toward the establish¬ 
ment of the University until 1858. On Feb. 11, of that year, the Legislature of the 
State appropriated to the institution $100,000 of the United States bonds in the treas¬ 
ury, the fifty leagues of land set aside in 1839, and also a certain part of other lands 
under the control of the State. By the same act, provision was made for a board of 
ten persons, called “The Administrators of the University of Texas,” whose duty should 
be to organize the institution. This attempt, however, failed and not until 1883 was 
the school put in operation. 

In 1881, by special act of the Legislature, the management was vested in a Board of 
Regents, and under its authority the Academic and Law Departments were organized, 
and on Sept. 15 the University was formally opened. 

The campus consists of forty acres in the heart of the city of Austin, and on it are 
erected the University buildings, except the one used for the Medical Department. The 
first one was completed in 1883. The main building was completed in 1889. Brack- 
enridge Hall was erected in 1890, at a cost of $17,000, and the Chemical Laboratory, in 
1892, at a cost of $25,000. At present the University has four departments: Literature, 
Science and Arts, Law and Medicine. In 1890 the city of Galveston donated to the 
University the John Sealy Hospital, to be used in connection with the Medical De¬ 
partment. A new building was erected at Galveston in 1891, at a cost of $125,000. 
The faculty of the Medical Department elects its own Dean annually. 

In 1892-3 the combined faculty of all departments numbered about thirty professors 
and several tutors, as well as a large and efficient corps of lecturers. The number of 
students in attendance in all departments was 353. The institution receives the pro¬ 
ceeds of more than 2,000,000 acres of land in addition to the income from a large cash 
endowment.

TEXAS PSI. 


Texas Psi Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity was organized 
Nov. 12, 1887, by T. M. Taylor, of Texas Eho, assisted by F. L. Haw¬ 
kins and W. H. P. Hunnicutt, also of Rho. Six men, H. B. Edgar, E. 
W. Smith, B. L. Adams, J. F. Haley, W. C. Lott and E. Y. Cox, took 
upon themselves the vows of the fraternity. The first officers were 
Taylor, E. A.; Smith, E. D. A.; Edgar, E. R.; Cox, E. C.; Adams, E. T.; 
Haley, E. Ch.; and Lott, E. W. 

At the time Psi was installed, an anti-fraternity war was at its height 
in the University, but the new members boldly held out for their privi¬ 
leges, and came off victorious. The Regent of the University, Dr. 
Heidt, was an S. A. E., having been a member of Ga. Epsilon, and he 
extended to the boys of Texas Psi a hearty welcome. 

All went well with the chapter during the first collegiate year of her 
existence, but on the opening of the Fall term of 1888-9, only three of 
her men returned to college, and it was deemed advisable to surrender 
the charter. This was done on the 28th of Sept., 1888, the chapter 
having lived less than a year. She died, not from disease, nor from any 
internal disorder, but from starvation. She was too conservative in her 
policy, and thus made her life of but short duration. 

The other fraternities represented at Southwestern University are 
Kappa Alpha (1883), Kappa Sigma (1886), Phi Delta Theta (1886), and 
Phi Kappa Nu (1890).

SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, 


Even in the days of the Republic, the Methodists of Texas felt the pressing need of 
some high-grade educational institution, but several attempts to establish such ended 
only in failure. In 1869 a series of resolutions were presented to the different con¬ 
ferences of the States, by F. A. Mood, D. D., having as their object the founding of a 
university complete in every particular. By the authority of the several conferences, 
a convention met at Byland Chapel, Galveston, April 20, 1870, to consider the main 
features of the enterprise. The first name agreed upon was “The Texas University,” 
but owing to the State University at Austin having previously assumed this title, that 
of “ Southwestern University” was adopted. 

Agents were sent into different parts of the State to solicit propositions for location 
and endowment. The convention adjourned to meet in 1871, but at the second meet¬ 
ing little was accomplished. A third meeting was held in 1872, and it was then that 
it was decided that two distinct boards be appointed, one of ministers to be known as 
curators, the other of laymen, who should take care of the finances. 

At the meeting held at Galveston, Dec. 31, 1872, Rev. F. A. Mood, D. D., was elected 
regent. On the 23d of August, Georgetown was selected as the site of the institution, 
the town offering property and money amounting to about $63,000. The University 
opened on the 6th of October, 1873, and in the year ’73-4 thirty-three students were 
matriculated. 

In 1874 the ladies’ annex was inaugurated, designed to encourage higher female 
education. Both departments were prospering rapidly under the regency of Dr. 
Mood, who served in this capacity until his death, which took place Nov. 12, 1884, 
immediately after he had made an earnest appeal to the Northwest Texas Conference, 
then sitting at Waco, in behalf of the institution of his hopes and labors. He was suc¬ 
ceeded in June, 1885, by Rev. J. W. Heidt, D. D., of Ga., who served until 1889,when 
he resigned and was succeeded by John H. McLean, D. D. 

The course of instruction compares favorably with that of any of the schools of the 
West. The faculty, consisting of nineteen professors and assistants, is able and energetic 
and is putting the institution on a firm basis. The number of students is rapidly in¬ 
creasing ; in 1892-3 the total number matriculated was about 450. 

The institution is under the immediate supervision and control of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church, South, in Texas, and by virtue of charter rights is the successor of 
Ruterville, Wesleyan, McKenzie, and Soule College, even to the extent of adopting 
the alumni of these institutions. All the annual conferences of the State concentrate 
their attention on the one institution, and thus a large patronage is secured. More 
than one hundred and fifty of the graduates have entered the ministry and are doing 
faithful and efficient work, winning laurels for themselves, as well as bringing honor 
to their alma mater. More than sixty young ladies have already graduated from the 
University and many of them are filling positions of usefulness.

VIRGINIA KAPPA 


Virginia Kappa was installed in the Fall of 1858, a time illy adapted 
for such an enterprise. The South was in a state of perplexity, and 
naturally the attention of the people was diverted from educational 
pursuits. When the war came on, two and a half years later, colleges 
were abandoned, and both faculties and students, laying aside their books 
and shouldering their muskets, marched off to the scene of conflict. 
The war crushed the hopes of many southern educational institutions, 
for they had to be abandoned, either from lack of students, or because 
their property had been destroyed. Virginia Kappa was organized at 
a time when it was most difficult for her to gain a firm footing, never¬ 
theless, she gallantly set to work, and soon she had on her rolls the 
names of several of the leading students of the college. 

In 1860, Kappa was made Grand Chapter of the fraternity, and served 
in this capacity until she disbanded. 

When the war broke out the College of William and Mary, owing to 
its location in the heart of the district where the conflict raged fiercest, 
suffered severely, and it was then that Sigma Alpha Epsilon dropped 
out. Many of her members enlisted in the C. S. A., and the chapter 
was then disbanded, and has not since been re established. Sixteen 
members were initiated, three of whom attended Centenary College. Of 
the members, several have had signal success in their various vocations. 

Several fraternities have established chapters at the College of 
William and Mary: Theta Delta Chi (1853-72), Pi Kappa Alpha (1871- 
78), Beta Theta Pi (1874-77), Kappa Sigma (1890), Kappa Alpha (1890), 
and Alpha Zeta (1890). Phi Beta Kappa originated in this College, 1776.

COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY. 


IN 1688-9, twenty-five hundred pounds were subscribed by a few of Virginia’s wealthy 
gentlemen and by friends in England toward the promotion of higher education in the 
colony. In 1691 Rev. James Blair was sent to England by the colonial Assembly to 
secure a charter for the proposed college. He went direct to King William and Queen 
Mary and succeeded in obtaining from the English Government £2,000, 20,000 acres of 
land, a tax of one penny on every pound of tobacco exported from Maryland and Vir¬ 
ginia, also all fees and profits arising from the office of surveyor-general. 

The charter is dated Feb. 14, 1693, and was secured through the united efforts of the 
clergy, the House of Burgesses, the Council, the merchants of London, the leading 
planters of the Colony, the Bishops of England, and the King and Queen after whom 
the institution was named. There was given the power to establish and organize “a 
certain place of universal study, or perpetual college, for Divinity, Philosophy, Lan¬ 
guages, and other good Arts and Sciences.” The Board of Trustees was to consist of 
eighteen residents of the Colony. The first president of the College was Dr. James 
Blair, who remained in office fifty years. The Bishop of London was the first chancel¬ 
lor. The College was located at Middle Plantation, only forty miles from Richmond, 
and it is worthy of note, that in 1705 the town of Williamsburg, the prospective politi¬ 
cal center of the colony, was located close by the site of the institution. 

Under the colonial government the College had representation in the House of Bur¬ 
gesses, and went far toward moulding the political thought of the colony. The charter 
gave the College the complete control of the land system, and it was at the hands of the 
president of the institution that Washington received his first public commission as 
county surveyor. 

The institution has been peculiarly unfortunate; in 1805 the old college building 
burned down, but was at once replaced by a new one of the same style. In 1859 the 
buildings were destroyed by fire, and in 1862 the new ones erected shared a like fate at 
the hands of the Federal troops. 

In 1824 it was proposed to remove the College to Richmond, but strenuous opposition 
on the part of Thomas Jefferson and others prevented the removal. The work in 1830 
seems to have been arranged in departments or groups, rather than in a continuous 
curriculum, the departments being those of ancient languages, modern languages and 
sciences. As early as 1758, the system of lecturing was introduced by Dr. William 
Small, Professor of Philosophy and Mathematics. This was a departure in college 
work, but its advantages are no longer doubted. In 1779 the first chair of Municipal 
Law in America was established under Chancellor Geo. Wythe, and in the same year 
the elective system of study was announced. 

At present the College is not in the prosperous condition it once was. The war swept 
away not only the buildings but also deteriorated the college lands to such extent as to 
place the institution on a precarious footing. Earnest efforts are being made to restore 
it to its old-time popularity and strength, and it is hoped that in the near future, this, 
the second oldest collegiate institution of America, will again take her place among the 
leading schools of the country. In 1892-3 the faculty consisted of twelve professors, and 
the number of students in attendance was 204. The list of graduates is a long one, and 
many of them have achieved national reputations. Among them are United States 
Attorney Generals, seventy Representatives in Congress, fifteen Senators, seventeen 
Governors of States, and thirty-seven State and United States Judges.

VIRGINIA OMICRON. 


Virginia Omicron was founded in 1857, and is the fifth oldest chapter 
of the fraternity. From the time of her establishment to the breaking 
out of the Civil War in 1861, her life was one of activity and energy, as 
is shown by the fact that in these four years about forty men were in¬ 
itiated. 

When the war came on, nearly the whole active chapter enlisted in 
the C. S. A. Many of the alumni members also enlisted, and the record 
of Omicron’s sons throughout the four years of devastating warfare is 
one of which the fraternity may be proud. Omicron was a Southern 
chapter, and naturally her members took sides with the South to fight 
for what seemed to them was right, and bravely did they do this. Of 
those enlisting, two became adjutants, six were made captains, and 
seven attained the rank of lieutenant. But the saddest of all is that 
eight of them poured out their young life’s blood on the field of action. 

Not only as heroes fighting for their country, but also in the pro¬ 
fessional walks of life, the chapter has been well represented. Many 
have attained to positions of prominence in their several vocations. 
Five of them have became judges, and their records in this capacity 
speak for themselves. 

When the war closed, the chapter was reorganized, and for fifteen years 
was in a flourishing condition. The average membership was about 
fifteen, and during the period about sixty new members were added. In 
1865 Omicron was made Grand Chapter of the fraternity, and filled this 
position with credit until 1869, when the general convention transferred 
the powers, privileges and prerogatives of the office to Ga. Beta. 

During the year 1878-9 the membership was allowed to dwindle down 
to four, and, the following year only one of these returning, it was 
deemed advisable for the Grand Chapter to withdraw the charter. For 
five years then Sigma Alpha Epsilon was not represented at the Uni¬ 
versity of Virginia, but in 1885 the charter was re-issued and the chapter 
re-established by J. H. Phinizy, Ga. Beta, and H. D. Flood, Va. Sigma. 
Since then the chapter has been reasonably prosperous. Many of the 
members are affiliates, and remain but a year or two, and for this reason 
the spirit of activity is rather lower than if the men remained for a 
longer period. 

About twenty-five fraternities have, at different times, established chap¬ 
ters at the University. Delta Kappa Epsilon was the first, having es¬ 
tablished her Eta in 1852.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. 


The University of Virginia is the product of the genius and untiring effort of 
Thomas Jefferson. Between the years 1799 and 1819 he strongly advocated a system 
ofState education, which, beginning with the elementary schools maintained at the 
public expense and free to all, should have its climax in a university where each dis¬ 
tinct branch of knowledge should he taught in a school confined exclusively to such 
one branch. In 1810 the State Legislature appropriated certain moneys for a Literary 
Fund. In 1814 Mr. Jefferson was elected a trustee of Albemarle Academy, the name 
of which was changed to Central College the following year. But in 1816 the Legisla¬ 
ture of Virginia took steps toward the founding of a university, and directed the president 
and directors of the Literary Fund to report a plan, and the following year a commission 
appointed to select a site. The report of the commission was written by Mr. Jefferson, 
who, having made an exhaustive study of the European universities, now had as his 
highest ambition the establishment of one in Virginia similar to them. The report 
embodied exhaustive plans for the university, and it was through his influence that 
the Legislature passed the hill incorporating the University of Virginia. By the in¬ 
corporating act the property and site of Central College at Charlottesville was as¬ 
sumed. The location was a beautiful knoll four miles west of Jefferson’s mountain 
home. He planned the “Rotunda,” the principal building, modeling it after the 
Pantheon, though on a smaller scale. The buildings erected 1819-25 cost about $350,- 
000, which amount was raised by liberal State aid and private donation. 

On the 5th of March, 1825, the university was formally opened with eight schools 
in operation, and from that time to the breaking out of the war its career was one of 
marked success. The faculty was composed of able professors, several of whom were 
educated in the English universities. At the opening session of 1860-1, more than 600 
students were in attendance, but with the war came depression, and from 1861 to 1865 
the institution barely lived. The war over, a fresh start was made, and though there 
were many discouragements, there was much also to impart new vigor. The decreased 
attendance cut off a large amount of the money received from tuition fees, and hence 
financial aid from other sources was imperative. Generous friends came forward to 
meet the pressing needs, and from 1869 to 1879 aid to the amount of $293,600 was re¬ 
ceived. and since ’79 no less than $650,000 has been donated, making a total of over 
$900,000 in less than a quarter century. 

There are twelve academic schools, comprised in two departments—Literary and 
Scientific. Law, medicine, pharmacy, engineering, and agriculture, are provided for. 
The library contains 50,000 volumes. The observatory has a telescope constructed at 
a cost of $50,000. The faculty consists of 21 professors and 15 instructors, and the 
number of students in attendance (1892-3) is 540. Degrees are conferred for pro¬ 
ficiency in separate branches. Mr. Jefferson’s plans are carried out in almost every 
particular.

VIRGINIA PI. 


Chapter Virginia Pi, of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was founded April 26, 
1884, by A. J. Smith, of Georgia Epsilon, with the following nine char¬ 
ter members: C. M. Bishop, J. A. Jones, W. H. Jones, B. R. Kane, W. 
E. Lyons, W. S. McKamey, E. J. Potts, J. M. Scott, and B. M. Tal¬ 
bot. The career of the chapter has been gratifying to her founders. 
Her only rival has been a chapter of Kappa Sigma, and with this she 
has always easily held her own. A conservative policy has been fol¬ 
lowed, the greatest care having been exercised in the selection of mem¬ 
bers. In every case the three requisites of exalted manhood have been 
demanded—brains, honor and good breeding. 

The faculty and board of trustees of Emory and Henry College are 
opposed to secret organizations in the institution, and this fact, in con¬ 
nection with the lack of desirable men to select from, has kept the 
membership rather small, and though once or twice it has dwindled 
down to two men, yet the chapter’s existence has never been endan¬ 
gered. 

She has always played her part well in the affairs of college life, tak¬ 
ing an active part in every enterprise, and casting her influence for the 
general advancement of all concerned. In the class room she is espe¬ 
cially prominent, her members having won many honors and medals. 
To the filth of college politics she has never stooped, believing that one 
medal or honor won by merit reflects more glory on the winner than a 
score won by chicanery or underhand methods. Her exalted sense of 
honor and fair dealing has gained for her the respect of the faculty and 
the admiration and commendation of both “frat” and “ barb.” 

While the authorities oppose the chapter’s existence, they are fully 
aware of it, and no danger need be feared so long as the present con¬ 
servative and upright course is maintained. Her members are men of 
honor, and the organization as a whole is one imparting to those with 
whom it comes in contact an influence, healthful and refined, so that no 
objection to its maintenance can be raised. 

Her alumni list is an honored one. The total membership is fifty- 
two, of whom many have already had eminent success in their various 
callings. The present membership is five, and the footing of the chap¬ 
ter is secure.

EMORY AND HENRY COLLEGE. 


Emory and Henry College was established in 1836, and received its name from 
Bishop John Emory and Patrick Henry. The charter was secured and the College 
founded under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Rev. Charles 
Collins, D. D., was the first president, and his term of office, extending over a period 
of several years, was marked by a rapid increase in attendance. 

The College is located at the village of Emory, Va., a place situated in a retired 
and beautiful valley, twenty-one hundred feet above the level of the sea. The land 
around for almost a mile is owned by the Board of Trustees. 

The main College building is a commodious brick edifice, one hundred and fifty by 
forty-five feet, four stories high, and is situated on a commanding eminence in the 
campus. The Byars House is a boarding house and hotel. The Sam. W. Small Gym¬ 
nasium, built with funds provided by him whose name it bears, is constructed for a 
two-fold use—bodily exercise and a public auditorium, the seating capacity of which 
is 1,600. The William Morrow Science Hall is well adaptedjfor the study of the 
various sciences. The campus consists of twenty acres near the center of the college 
farm of more than five hundred acres. The library contains about 8,000 volumes, 
and the apparatus for chemical and physical laboratory work is complete. 

Two regular courses of instruction are provided for, the Scientific and the Classical. 
The degrees conferred are Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts, in cursu, and Mas¬ 
ter of Arts, Doctor of Divinity, Doctor of Sacred Theology, and Doctor of Laws. The 
faculty consists of seven professors, with Rev. James Atkins, D. D., as President. The 
total attendance (1893) is one hundred and thirteen. An endowment fund of more 
than $50,000 has lately been provided, and Rev. J. M. Sharp, Nashville, Tenn., has 
given $5,000 toward an endowed Emeritus Professorship. 

The College is controlled by the M. E. Church, South, under the immediate super¬ 
vision of the Holston Annual Conference. Of the more than 4,000 students already 
matriculated, many have entered the ministry and are having excellent success. Of 
the alumni who have come into prominence may be named Gen. J. E. B. Stuart and 
Gen. W. E. Jones. 

The following is the faculty with the department of each member: Rev. James 
Atkins, D. D., Psychology and Ethics; Rev. Edmund Lougley, A. M., French; 
Samuel M. Barton, Ph. D., Mathematics ; Rev. Richard G. Waterhouse, A. M., D. D., 
English ; Arthur T. Walker, A. M., Ancient Languages and German. In addition to 
those named, Rev. James A. Davis, A. M., is Professor Emeritus of Natural Sciences.

the time of her establishment, she has been one of the most active 
chapters of the fraternity. 

Owing to the fact that so many fraternity chapters are established at 
the University, it is necessary for the membership of each to be small. 
Sigma’s membership ranges from six to ten. In the more than quarter 
century of her existence, only about ninety men have been initiated. 
She has always pursued a careful, conservative policy, and thus, while 
she has not had the numerical strength of her rival chapters, she has 
always maintained a high standard of membership and hence has had 
more influence than her numbers would indicate. Her men have 
always taken high rank in the class room, and of those who have entered 
upon the more active duties of life, many have had their labors crowned 
with eminent success. The high standard of Washington and Lee Uni. 
versity gives her alumni a prestige that dare not be underestimated and 
this, in connection with the care exercised by the chapter in the selec¬ 
tion of men, insures for Sigma’s alumni preeminent positions. 

In ’74 and ’75 Sigma initiated five men who were students at the Vir¬ 
ginia Military Institute, but after two years trial this experiment was 
discontinued and only students at the University were selected. 

In the affairs of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, Chapter Vir¬ 
ginia Sigma has always played a prominent part. Her men have, in 
the past, been thoroughly imbued with that spirit which seeks for the 
welfare of the order, as well as for the prosperity of the local chapter. 
From ’76 to ’77 she served as Grand Chapter of the fraternity, filling the 
position with honor to herself and also to the advantage of the general 
fraternity. During the last year the chapter has not been quite so 
strong as in past years, but it is expected that with the additions made 
in the coming session she will be restored to her former position of 
influence. 

The other fraternities represented at W. and L. University are, Phi 
Kappa Psi (1856), Alpha Tau Omega (1865), Kappa Alpha (1865), Sigma 
Chi (1886), Kappa Sigma (1873), Sigma Nu (1882), Phi Delta Theta 
(1887), Pi Kappa Alpha, and Phi Theta Psi. Several other chapters 
have become defunct. There is always a strong rivalry among the dif¬ 
ferent fraternities, but this is usually of a friendly character. The 

membership of each seldom exceeds ten or twelve.

WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY. 


One of the earliest schools in the Colony of Virginia was “ Augusta Academy,” in 
Augusta County, near Greenville.lt was established in 1744 by Robert Alexander, one 
of the early settlers of the Virginia Valley. It was afterwards removed to Mt. Pleas¬ 
ant, Rockbridge County. In 1776, immediately after the Battle of Lexington, the name 
was changed to “ Liberty Hall Academy.” This was chartered by the State, October, 
1782, being the first school incorporated in the State since the Revolution. To meet all 
expenses the Academy was dependent entirely on tuition fees, but in 1796, George 
Washington gave it $50,000 as a permanent endowment fund. In 1798 the name was 
changed to “Washington Academy,” and remained under that name until 1813, when it 
was chartered as “Washington College.” 

In 1802 a donation of $30,000 was received from “The Cincinnati Society”—a so¬ 
ciety comprised of the surviving officers of the Revolution. In 1827 John Robinson, a 
soldier under Washington, bequeathed the College his entire estate valued at $46,000. 
With this aid it was placed on a firm footing. Located at Lexington, in the county of 
Rockbridge, in the valley of Virginia, near the interlacings of the head-waters of the 
Shenandoah and James rivers, with singularly beautiful scenery on all sides, it was 
only natural that in a few years the reputation of the college brought a large at¬ 
tendance. The first class graduates consisted of fourteen members, and from that 
time on there was a marked increase. From 1800 to 1820, the graduating classes 
averaged eighteen, and from 1840 to 1860, they averaged thirty-three. 

On Oct. 2, 1865, Gen. R. E. Lee was installed president, and he filled the position 
until his death in 1870. In honor of him, the Legislature changed the name of the in¬ 
stitution from Washington College to “ Washington and Lee University,” thus blend¬ 
ing in sweet harmony the names of the great benefactors of the institution—the one 
having first put it on a firm basis, the other having resuscitated it after the ravages of 
war. His administration was marked by great executive ability. When he assumed 
the presidency, the institution had property valued at $63,000, and an endowment of 
$90,000. To-day the property is valued at $300,000 and the endowment has reached 
almost a million. The graduating class in ’67 numbered 160 ; in ’68, it numbered 210. 
When Gen. Lee died, the Lee Mausoleum, an annex to the chapel, was constructed as 
a final resting place for the Lee family. The title to the mausoleum is provided for in 
the university corporation. 

He was succeeded in the presidency by his son, Gen. G. W. Curtis Lee, who still oc¬ 
cupies the position. 

The plan of instruction is the product of the master intellect of Gen. R. E. Lee. Cer¬ 
tain elective departments are provided, in which part of the work is required, part 
elective. Fifteen lectures each week must be attended, and degrees are conferred on 
the attainment of a certain degree of proficiency in a fixed number of departments.

VIRGINIA TAU 


Virginia Tau, of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was founded October 15,1884, 
by R. A. Wilbur, of S. C. Lambda, with four charter members, viz: R. 
A. Wilbur, B. R. Bostick, H. N. Phillips, and L. W. Wilson. At the 
first regular meeting of the chapter, Wilbur was elected E. A.; Phillips, 
E. R.; Wilson, E. C.; Bostick, E. T. Immediately a strong effort was put 
forth to furnish a hall, and this was soon accomplished Several Alumni 
Sigs lived in the city, and they were quite helpful to the new members. 
They aided in procuring a hall, suggested men to be initiated, as well 
as gave much valuable assistance along other lines. 

The new chapter met strong rivals in the other fraternities established 
at the College, but in a short while she was able to cope successfully 
with them. But in the Fall term of 1886-7, only two Sigs returned to 
College, and before long the once promising Virginia Tau was added to 
the list of defunct chapters. The total number of men initiated is ten. 

The other fraternity chapters at Richmond College are Beta Theta 
Pi '1870), Kappa Alpha (1870), Phi Kappa Sigma (1873), Phi Delta 
Theta (1875), Phi Gamma Delta (1890), and Phi Alpha Chi. 







RICHMOND COLLEGE. 





505 



RICHMOND COLLEGE 


Richmond College had its origin in a seminary founded about 1830. In 1844 this 
institution was incorporated into a college by a charter granted by the Legislature ol 
the State. The location was fixed at Richmond, Virginia, a place admirably adapted 
for au educational center. It is easy of access from every quarter, and is one of the 
most healthful towns in the South. The obiect of the school is to lay a broad and deep 
foundation for active life. The college campus contains thirteen acres in the western 
and highest part of the city, but two blocks distant from the Lee monument. The 
main building, standing near the middle of the campus, is a fine structure. The north 
wing is forty-six by one hundred and four feet, and is used for dormitories ; the south 
wing contains laboratories, lecture rooms, and libraries ; the center building is one 
hundred and ten by forty-two feet, contains chapel, with a seating capacity of six 
hundred, lecture rooms, and society halls. The other buildings are a dining hall, 
gymnasium and cottages. 

The college consists of independent schools, each presided over by a co-equal pro¬ 
fessor, responsible for the work done in his department. One from the faculty is an¬ 
nually chosen as chairman and chief executive officer, to whom is committed all 
general discipline. 

The different schools established are those of Latin, Greek, Modern Languages, Eng¬ 
lish, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Philosophy, and Law. The last named was 
organized in 1870, and continued until 1882. It was re-organized in 1890, and is now 
in a flourishing condition. 

At present the faculty is composed of ten professors. The total attendance for the 
year 1892-3 was one hundred and eighty-seven. 

The schools of Law and Philosophy are each founded on a paid up endowment of 
twenty-five thousand dollars. Vigorous efforts are being made toward endowing the 
other schools also.

VIRGINIA UPSILON. 


Chapter Virginia Upsilon was founded in 1860, by G. P. Tarry, of N. 
C. Xi. The chapter was short-lived, for when the war broke out, most 
of the members joined the Confederate States Army. Of the eleven 
men initiated previous to the beginning' of the war, nine engaged in 
active service, and of this number two were killed in battle. All were 
gallant soldiers and w T on the highest respect and confidence of their 
superior officers. 

The chapter was too short-lived to make considerable history. The 
records of the individual members show that Upsilon had in her the 
making of a strong organization, but the brightest hopes of her founders 
were blighted, not because of lack of enthusiasm in herself, but because 
of circumstances over which she had no control. The short time she 
existed in College she did herself ample credit and was fast winning 
considerable influence in the local college life. 

Hampden-Sidney has been a coveted fraternity home, but several of 
the chapters established have shared the fate of Upsilon. The frater¬ 
nities at present sustaining chapters at the institution are Beta Theta 
Pi (1850), Phi Kappa Psi (1856), Chi Phi (1867), Phi Gamma Delta 
(1870), and Sigma Chi (1872).

VIRGINIA UPSILON. 


HAHPDEN= SIDNEY COLLEGE. 


The tract of land consisting of one hundred acres, on which Hampden-Sidney Col¬ 
lege stands, was donated for educational purposes by Peter Johnston, ancestor of ex- 
Senator Johnston and Gen. J. E. Johnston, on the 20th of April, 1775. The proposed 
institution was opened as a college in the Fall of ’75, with Samuel S. Smith, after¬ 
wards president of the College of New Jersey, as president. In 1776, almost imme¬ 
diately after the college was opened, a military company was formed by the students 
and offered to the Governor of the State for service in the Revolution. The charter was 
not granted until in May, 1783. In it were named twenty-seven persons (one of whom 
being Patrick Henry) to constitute a body politic and corporate under the title of the 
“ President and Trustees of Hampden-Sidney College.” 

From the first, the college has been intimately connected with the Presbyterian 
Church, and is under the immediate supervision of the Presbytery of Hanover. How¬ 
ever, its aim is to rise above denominational prejudices, and impart to the student a 
broad and thorough Christian education. No pretension is made to university work ; 
the institution is only a college, but perhaps no college or university in the country 
does more thorough work in the courses provided for. Its alumni have filled many re¬ 
sponsible offices, and in these they have been eminently successful. Few institutions 
of the land can point to their graduates with more just pride than can Hampden- 
Sidney. Of those who entered the ministry and have come into prominence in this 
profession may be named Legrand, Kirkpatrick. Lacy and Atkinson. In political and 
civil affairs the college is represented by one United States President, several Cabinet 
Members, Senators, Representatives, Governors of States, and Federal Judges, and nu¬ 
merous Foreign Ministers. 

Of the illustrious presidents of the institution may be mentioned Dr. S. S. Smifh 
(1775-9) ; Dr. J. B. Smith (1779-89), afterward first president of Union College, N. Y.; 
Dr. Archibald Alexander (1797-1806), afterwards founder of Princeton Theological 
Seminary, N. J.; Dr. J. P. Cushing (1821-35); Dr. J. M. P. Atkinson (1857-83), and 
Dr. Richard Mcllwaine (1883.) Under the presidency of Dr. Cushing, the present col¬ 
lege building was erected, and a larger patronage was secured than at any previous 
time. 

The college is located in Prince Edward county, Va., in the immediate vicinity of 
Union Theological Seminary. The endowment, derived principally from the sale of 
scholarships, amounts to about $200,000. The faculty consists of eight professors, and 
was never more efficient than at present. The total attendance for 1892-3 was 140.

WASHINGTON CITY 5 RHO. 


Washington City Kho was planted at the Columbian College, Nov. 
30, 1858, by Jewett G. DeVotie, with J. H. Wright, W. S. Wright, N. A. 
Harris, Trezevant Harrison, and J. T. Griffin as charter members. Dar¬ 
ing the war the chapter was inactive, but was re-organized immediately 
afterwards, and remained active till 1869, when she became defunct, and 
has not since been revived. Before the war she was one of the most in¬ 
fluential organizations in the College, and when the war was over she 
again acquired a large amount of her former power. In College her 
men took high rank, winning many honors, both for class work and 
from the Societies. In active life her members have had even more 
marked success. The names of many of them need only be mentioned 
to recall lives of usefulness and high honor. One, Geo. W. Samson, 
was President of Columbian College through the darkest period of the 
institution’s existence. When the very foundations of the College were 
being shaken by the Civil War he nobly stood firm at its head and 
brought it safely through the long years of trial. Edward T. Fristoe 
has also won national celebrity as an educator. William L. Wilson has 
already forged his way to the very front rank in American statesman¬ 
ship. Daniel D. Johnson is also well known as one of the leading men 
of the State of West Yirginia. Others might be mentioned whose 
achievements reflect much honor upon the fraternity as well as upon 
their alma mater. 

At present only three fraternities have chapters at the Columbian 
University: Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Phi and Pi Beta Phi. Sigma 
Chi had a chapter here from ’64 to ’70, and Alpha Tau Omega planted 
one in 1874, but this died the same year.

COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY. 


The Columbian University is a monument commemorative of the labors of Rev. 
Luther Rice, a returned missionary fi'orn India. Early in the year 1817 he conceived 
the idea of founding in the city of Washington a college for educating young men in¬ 
tending to enter the Baptist ministry. In 1819 he, in company with several others, 
formed a “ Literary Association ” for the purpose of purchasing land for the proposed 
institution, and with $7,000 donated by the leading citizens of Washington, they 
bought a tract of 46j acres adjoining the city. In 1821 a charter for “The Columbian 
College in the District of Columbia ” was obtained from Congress. 

In the incorporating act, a board of trustees was appointed, which held its first meet¬ 
ing on March 5, of the same year, and elected Rev. O. B. Brown as its first president. 
The College was to be divided into the Theological and the Classical departments. The 
Theological opened for students on the first Wednesday in September, 1821; the Clas¬ 
sical on the second Wednesday in January, 1822. The main college building was com¬ 
pleted in 1822, at a cost of $35,000. 

Though the College was opened as a Baptist institution, from the first it was decided 
that sentiments in matters of religion should exclude no one from being president, 
trustee, professor, tutor, or student. 

Prof. Alva Woods, of the College, and James M. Staughton (son of the first presi¬ 
dent), of the Medical School, were commissioned by the trustees to visit the leading in¬ 
stitutions of Europe to investigate the best methods of instruction, and also secure 
whatever aid they might in the way of funds, books, or apparatus. This move was 
very successful, and has contributed largely to the success of the institution. 

When the war broke out, the attendance at the College was larger than ever before, 
but many enlisted in the service, and before long the buildings were used by the gov¬ 
ernment for hospital purposes. By a special act of Congress, passed March 3, 1873, the 
name was changed to “ The Columbian University.” In 1879, it was determined that 
all the departments should be removed to the heart of the city, and in 1884 the present 
university building was taken possession of. It is 121 feet by 64£, four-stories high, 
with an annex 156 feet in length. The Medical School was established in 1821, and in 
1865, W. W. Corcoran presented to it a new building, valued at $30,000. In 1872, he 
offered his estate to the university, and by donations made at other times, the amount 
of his benefactions has reached the sum of $175,000. Of the other benefactors may be 
mentioned John Withers, of Va., who has contributed nearly $70,000. 

The Law Department was organized in 1826, discontinued in 1827, but reopened in 
1875. It confers two degrees, Bachelor of Laws and Master of Laws, the latter being a 
degree for graduate studies; already about 1,350 students have received the degree of LL. 
B. and 325 the degree of LL. M. The Dental School was opened in 1887, and is the 
youngest professional school. 

The following is a list of the presidents : Dr. William Staughton (1821-1827); Dr. 
Stephen Chapin (1828-1841); Dr. Joel Smith Bacon (1843-1854); Dr. Joseph G. Binney 
(1855-1858); Dr. Geo. W. Samson (1859-1871), and Dr. James C. Welling (1871).

The Publishers seem to owe the Fraternity an apology for the premature appearance 
of Pa. Z. After the body of the work has been printed we learn that the men given 
under Pa. Z were initiated into Pa. A Z, with the purpose of applying lor a charter. 
They have made their application but as yet it has not been granted. The Publishers 
of this book are in no way responsible for this mistake. They knew nothing of the 
conduct of the affair, and received the data of the men through the regular channels.
